Review

Written by authors with extensive classroom and research experience, Coaching: Making a Difference for Teachers and Students provides a comprehensive explanation of methods for implementing coaching in any school and/or classroom. The chapters provide a logical sequence with theory and concomitant examples serving as a useful guide for teachers. I highly recommend this resource for all instructional coaches. (Carol Todd, PhD, Rio Salado College)

Coaching: Making a Difference for Teachers and Students covers a compelling variety of relevant topics in a logical progression. The inclusion of topics from coaching theory, instructional practices, teacher evaluation systems, learning theory, and classroom management provide an excellent foundation for beginning instructional coaches or experienced professionals. The end of chapter activities are appropriate for coursework or use in professional learning communities. Excellent book for supporting instructional coaches in their crucial role.
