Educational developers committed to promoting effective teaching and learning practices often make the same mistake we advise instructors to avoid: privileging content over process in individual consultations. We describe a process‐oriented consultation model based on effective practices from the literature on individual consultations, coaching, learning, and motivation. Using this three‐step model, educational developers can systematically create a collaborative environment that is nonjudgmental and nonprescriptive and draws on the client's capabilities, experiences, aspirations, and resourcefulness.
