Coaching between educators is one of the best ways to improve outcomes for all learners--but coaches rarely get formal preparation for mastering this important role. Give coaches the expert support they need with this essential new resource, a comprehensive guide to what effective coaching looks like across the PreK-12 grade span and how to conduct powerful coaching cycles with teachers and teams.

With a focus on improved practice for coaches and big-picture systems change, the authors combine relevant research with hands-on guidance and resources for planning, conducting, and reflecting on the quality of coaching when working with individual teachers or leadership teams. Readers will start with foundational information on coaching goals, activities, and challenges; a synthesis of research on coaching practices that work with teachers and teams; and guidance on applying systems-level change principles to the coaching process. Then theyâ (TM)ll get strategies and resources to help them implement the key features of an effective coaching framework (see below). Vivid examples show what successful coaching looks like at different grade levels, and 30 downloadable tools help coaches take confident action, reflect on their practices, and continuously improve.

A must-have professional reference for coaches, educator teams, and administrators, this book is the key to conducting powerful coaching sessions that lead to better outcomes for every student.

Implement an effective coaching framework through:

  • Alliance building: Take an intentional approach to developing an equitable, mutually beneficial partnership with a shared purpose.
  • Observing: Watch the teacher or team in action, gather simple data, and use the data to construct feedback and encourage reflection.
  • Modeling: Demonstrate to coachees how to use a specific teaching or teaming practice.
  • Providing performance feedback: Share your feedback so that coachees have concrete, actionable data that helps them reflect on their practices and advance their goals.
