About this title

Synopsis

While instructional expectations for teachers continue to significantly increase, too often our coaching models and supports are not evolving to meet the demands of 21st-century education.

The Coaching for Change Playbook is a response to this need. It is a practical, evidence-based, and comprehensive resource for school district leaders, principals, and instructional coaches with a dozen protocols to align to any instructional situation. Building an effective instructional coaching program for educators is one of the key levers for schools’ ability to implement and sustain lasting change.

The Playbook walks instructional leaders through the key coaching processes and practices that lead to educators' growth in meeting the diverse needs of 21st-century learners.

Designed to serve as a guide rather than a prescriptive, step-by-step manual, this Playbook also supports leaders wherever they are in the process of school improvement and serves as a guide in creating and growing instructional coaching systems.

The Playbook (130+ pages) is a rich compilation of research, foundational coaching practices, and specific coaching structures, to support for coaching of all educators, including:
- step-by-step guidance on how to set up a coaching system in your school or district;
- guides and templates on core coaching practices such as starting a coaching conversation and gradual release of responsibility, and establishing a coaching rhythm;
- multiple self-assessment and reflective opportunities and tools;
- 12 detailed coaching protocols that can be used to apply practices to common coaching situations; and
- 10 blueprints (or sequences) that show how protocols can be used together to support typical coaching situations.
