In transforming education, well-designed leadership coaching and mentoring can make a critical difference in effectively building capacity for systemic change. Both internal and external coaches and mentors play key roles. Over time, the aim is to prepare a cadre of internal leaders so they become the primary system change agents and capacity builders for replicating and sustaining new directions on a large scale. For example, in working with a SEA and regional agencies, a coach/mentor should enable the leadership to facilitate the establishment and capacity building of system change mechanisms at LEAs. Leaders at LEAs should learn how to facilitate establishment and capacity building of system change mechanisms at schools.
