Tribal Coaching Leadership Academy for Middle Managers (Tribal Coaching LAMM)

Summary
NCWWI Leadership Model

The Tribal Coaching LAMM uses a facilitated coaching format to applying National Child Welfare Workforce Institute (NCWWI) leadership skills in Tribal child welfare in order to prepare middle managers to lead meaningful change in their tribal agency's ability to serve vulnerable children, youth, and families.

"The Tribal Coaching LAMM follows tribal child welfare managers' participation in the Leadership Academy for Middle Managers, which would include colleagues from a wide range of settings. The purpose of the Tribal Coaching curriculum is to focus on applying National Child Welfare Workforce Institute (NCWWI) leadership skills in tribal child welfare in order to prepare middle managers to lead meaningful change in their tribal agency's ability to serve vulnerable children, youth, and families. A facilitated coaching format creates the opportunity to go more deeply into the process of leading change by identifying aspects of Native American history and the sphere of influence that contributes to leadership in tribal child welfare. It is also designed to help managers understand the NCWWI Leadership Framework from an indigenous perspective. The coaching format is built on relationships between facilitators, coaches, and peers and an atmosphere that supports open sharing in a safe setting. Coaching is one-on-one, small group, and peer-to-peer;a large group discussion component is also included."
