Instructional Coaching: A Partnership Approach to Improving Instruction

Bought as a new instructional coach. Very informative and user friendly. Great information, very helpful for new coaches!

I found this brilliant and certainly a book that will change the way I have worked with my colleagues in the past. I wish I would have read it years earlier as I believe so many initiatives would have been far more effectively implemented with this approach.

I total five star rating !Jim Knight has brought us the Rosetta Stone !Almost overnight we have greatly increased the expectations of students. We give teachers 100 page 'learning modules' to tell them what to teach....But we do next to nothing about 'how' !My work over 40 plus years in education indicates that the biggest correlate to student success are the skills of the teacher !Without instructional coaching, those skills will not grow to match the demands of Common Core !Teaching is the only performance profession that has yet to embrace coaching and videotaping of its work followed by feedback.I agree with Jim Knight that Instructional Coaching is THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MODEL FOR THE 21st Century !

Good book for beginning coaches.

As a new instructional coach, this book has served as a guide in setting me off on the right foot toward a successful career. I've been able to transfer countless lessons I learned from this book into my career as a coach. It entices self-reflection and motivates almost as though Jim Knight were sitting in front of you coaching you on coaching. Definitely a page-turner! Highly recommend!
