**Executive Coaching ** **Dr. Henry Johnson, NELA Executive Coach** **Former Assistant Secretary, Office of Elementary and Secondary Education** **U.S. Department of Education** //**"As Executive Coach for Sean Murphy in the Northeast North Carolina Leadership Academy, I have had the pleasure of working with Sean for a year. During this time I found him to possess the combination of special traits necessary for success as a school leader. In addition to a strong commitment to student learning and teacher success he has the general attributes of high intelligence and deep compassion for students. These traits, when coupled with the specific knowledge base and skill set he possess, positions him to successfully lead improvement efforts in struggling schools."**// - Dr. Henry Johnson

Overview
During our administrative internship year, each NELA Fellow was matched with an Executive Coach. Our Executive Coaches served as mentors to us throughout the year; they encouraged us to reflect on our practice on a weekly or bi-weekly basis and provided thoughtful feedback on our reflections, conducted joint teacher observations and debriefs with us, and met with us regularly to discuss challenges we faced or anticipated facing in our schools. In addition, they completed a quarterly assessment of our proficiency on the NC School Executive Evaluation Rubric for Pre-Service Candidates, and discussed with us our areas of progress and areas for growth. My Executive Coach, Dr. Henry Johnson, is an esteemed leader in education in North Carolina and throughout the country. I am honored to have had this opportunity to learn from him. Below you will find:
 * A sample weekly log from my administrative internship that I shared with Dr. Johnson, along with his feedback.
