COACHING
(Go Back to Top)
Dr. Carreiro maintains an active consulting
schedule. Known as a thought coach, his
expertise is used to help improve research, writing, policy initiatives,
curriculum enrichment, clinical teaching intervention and policy
development. He consults on an
individual basis, group or departmental level and also addresses school and
district wide educational needs.
As a former public school teacher (elementary
and high school levels), and professor in education (with expertise in
teaching, curriculum and learning environments at graduate and undergraduate
levels, including the supervision of teacher and superintendent interns), Dr.
Carreiro understands the challenges of teaching and the opportunities available
to those educators and administrators who wish to excel in their respective
fields of practice.
One of the ways he helps professionals is
through the vehicle of coaching. Coaching can assist you in your professional
development in ways that are often difficult to generate on your own. Often, in coaching, clients will be more open
about the nature of their work than with their family, friends and colleagues.
As a result of this more open partnership, you can move more quickly from
problem posing & problem finding to successful resolution of challenges
confronting you.
Coaching is a collaborative and a generative
relationship in which the coach and you enter a thought–provoking and creative
process that inspires you to attain maximum personal and professional
potential. It is based on individual–initiated change in pursuit of specific
actionable outcomes. The coach helps you
establish what you want to achieve through creating practical action plans to
help you attain those goals, hopes and dreams that you have in becoming more
successful in your work.
Coaching honors the client as the expert in
his/her life and work and believes that every client is creative, resourceful
and whole. The coach’s job is to provide support to enhance the skills,
resources and creativity that already reside within the client’s background,
natural abilities and professional skills.
Dr. Carreiro can help provide you with an
alternative viewpoint that is based upon your own exploration in
self–discovery. New perspectives are
realized in vitally powerful ways that are grounded upon your own understanding
and insights. Together, a coach and client can invoke the potential of the
client's senses, beliefs, awareness, dreams and goals for living a better life;
they may even evoke and awaken the age long virtue in sharing the greatness of
the human spirit with one another.
Clients
can expect the following benefits:
•
Enhanced creative awareness and critical thinking
• Focused attention
• Capacity to apply
elemental dynamics of thought to improve one’s potential
• Renewed passion in
exploring key ideas central to your sense of education
• Greater discernment in
achieving intellectual enjoyment of teaching and learning
• More inspiration and
lucidity of purpose
• Intuition, emotion and
cognition are merged together using self–determination,
interest
& knowledge with local, state, regional and national academic benchmarks
• Deeper sense of the
enjoyment and celebration inherent in teaching and learning
• Reaching a joy of verification
only found in the mastery of one’s professional craft
• Improved vitality
• A sense of moving
forward into the future in a proactive manner
