LGPCASE

Closure and Review

Background

The purpose of the Case Assignment is to create a “Live Case” by experiencing the process of coaching.  Because this case is designed around 

experiential learning
, we can go beyond the conceptual knowledge covered in the reading materials to actual skills building. This requires putting what you are learning into immediate practice.

In this fourth module, you will be working with your coachee to close the coaching session and determine the next phase of your relationship. Will you terminate the relationship or move on to a new coaching experience? A part of this process is soliciting feedback from your coachee as to how successful the coaching sessions were.

· What did the coachee learn?

· How will the coachee deal with people and situations differently?

· What priorities have been set and what still needs to be accomplished?

One outcome of this session is to come to a mutual decision of whether to terminate the coaching relationship or continue to work together on a new coaching issue. Drawing on the background reading for this and the previous modules, you will plan and carry out a coaching session that involves stage W of the GROW model.

There is a comprehensive explanation of the GROW model on the background page for Module 2.

The structure of the Live Case 
NOTE:  This module also includes an extra activity to be completed by the coachee and submitted as an appendix to your usual paper.

Each module will follow this cycle:  Plan, execute, report.

· Before the coaching session, write up a plan using course readings or additional research as a resource (1-2 pages).

· Then meet with the coachee and use your plan as a guide for the session.

· The bulk of the report is on how it went: successes and failures.  What would you do differently next time?  (3 to 5 pages).

Preplanning	Action	Reflection
What are your goals for the session? What actions do you plan? How will you know if you are successful? (1-2 pages).	Meet with coachee (45-50 minutes).	Report on the session. Provide a narrative descriptive summary of the conversation as it occurred (1 or 2 paragraphs). How do you feel the session went? Analyze the process and outcomes of your coaching. What new knowledge did you gain? What would you do differently next time?

Case Assignment

Signature Assignment: Oral Communications, Reinforced Level

The Case Assignment contains two parts: an essay about the wrap-up of your final coaching session, and an outline to follow for the creation of a narrated PowerPoint presentation for the SLP 4 assignment.

Part 1

Read about conducting wrap-up sessions at this website
.

You can obtain your own copy of the 
Coachee Feedback Assessment Form. You can use the form in one of two ways:

· You may have your coachee fill this out as a “homework” assignment prior to your meeting, or

· You can use the assessment form to structure your feedback session by typing your coachee’s answers as you hold your wrap-up session. In this last case, it is a good idea to email the finished completed form to the coachee so he can have a reminder of what was accomplished.

· Either way, be sure to include the feedback form as an attachment to your paper.

Conduct your final coaching session as described above and write it up as detailed in the keys to the assignment and the assignment expectations.

Part 2

The second part of the case assignment is to develop a 1- to 2-page outline for the SLP 4 PowerPoint assignment. It should contain the following elements:

· A personal assessment:  Your values, leadership style, motivators, and competencies

· A personal vision statement

· Any obstacles you have identified to achieving your vision

· Personal goals

· Your action plan

Keys to the Assignment

1. After reading the background materials for this module and doing additional research if needed, prepare your pre-coaching plan for a final 45- to 50-minute session:

· What are your goals for this session? How will you know if you are successful?

· What skills will you use?

· How will you go about doing this?

· What questions will you ask?

2. Conduct your coaching session (45 to 50 minutes).

3. Write up your post-coaching reflection.

· Report the facts of the coaching session.

· What went well and what did not?

· What did you learn about coaching from this session?

· What would you do differently next time?

Oral Communications Emphasis

As you may recall in BUS503 Case for Module 1, emphasis was placed on the first step to building oral communications skills—deciding what to cover.

Now at this “reinforced” level, the LED514 Case 4 takes oral communications a step further by developing an outline from which to later create a slide presentation at the “Mastered” level in LED599 (Integrative Capstone). Your oral communications skills will be further developed as you create a PowerPoint presentation complete with an audio narration.

These three assignments build upon each other and aim to offer you the opportunity to enhance and practice your oral communications preparation and delivery skills.

The dedicated grading rubric for MSL Oral Communication has been developed to measure student success in meeting the LED514 Case 4 expectations related to oral communications. Rubrics for the other two courses are included in their respective oral communications assignments.

Assignment Expectations

· Include a cover page and reference page in addition to the 5 – 9 pages of analysis described above. Remember that when an assignment calls for 5-9 pages, the assignment was created to result in a paper 9 pages in length; however, your professor may accept a paper that is at least 5 full pages.

· Your paper must include an Introduction and a Conclusion paragraph.

· Include your coachee’s assessment of the sessions as an appendix.

· Include the PowerPoint outline as a second appendix.

· Use headings to indicate major sections of the report (this is the “organization” part of the grading rubric).

· Cite and reference all sources used to complete this assignment. Your reference list must contain at least 3 high quality peer-reviewed references from the Trident Online Library.

· Use APA formatting according to the 7th edition.

· Proofread and edit your papers carefully. The expectation is zero errors. The best tool to do this is the Editor tool found in MS Word toolbar at the top of the page.
