The purpose of this study was to examine the architecture of internship coaching models from five innovative principal preparation programs in the Southeastern region of the USA. The researchers used coaching architecture in this context to include the assignment of coaches to interns, dosages, and enactment of evaluation and confidentiality.,The researchers used a qualitative, collective case study research design that included semi-structured interviews of program directors and coaches from each of five programs, totaling 19 interviews that lasted from 30 min to an hour and 15 min each.,Commonalities among architectures of principal intern coaching designs included coaching assignment by geography, frequency and format of coaching sessions and length of the internship. All five programs recommend continuing coaching into initial years of administration. Points of distinction pertained to the utilization of external versus internal coaches, confidentiality and evaluation by coaches.,This study may inform coaching models for principal preparation programs within similar contexts. Because all five programs are grant-funded within one US state, generalizability and transferability cannot be assumed.,The authors provide design considerations for coaching programs, as well as policy considerations and directions for future research.,While coaching is increasingly used in leadership preparation programs, there is a paucity of research regarding the nature of coaching models, especially in terms of their architecture. The researchers examine, compare, and contrast coaching model architecture, raising important considerations for coaching designs.

美国主要预备课程中的创新实习教练模型的体系结构

这项研究的目的是检查来自美国东南部地区的五个创新的主要准备项目的实习教练模型的体系结构。在这种情况下，研究人员使用了教练体系结构，包括教练对实习生的分配，剂量以及评估和保密的制定。研究人员使用了定性，集体的案例研究设计，其中包括来自项目总监和教练的半结构化访谈五个程序中的每个程序，总共进行19次面试，每次面试从30分钟到一个小时不等，每次15分钟。实习生主要教练设计的架构之间的共同点包括按地理位置划分的教练分配，教练课程的频率和形式以及实习的时间。所有这五个计划都建议在执教的最初几年继续进行辅导。区别点涉及外部和内部教练的使用，教练的机密性和评估。本研究可能会为相似情况下的主要准备课程提供指导模型。由于这五个计划都是在美国一个州内拨款资助的，因此不能假定其可推广性和可移植性。作者为教练计划提供了设计考虑因素，以及未来研究的政策考虑和方向。尽管在领导力准备中越来越多地使用教练在培训课程中，关于教练模型的本质（尤其是在其架构方面）的研究很少。研究人员检查，比较和对比教练模型的架构，
