The Definitive Guide to Instructional Coaching: Seven factors for success (UK edition) Paperback / softback

The Definitive Guide to Instructional Coaching offers a clear philosophy, framework, and method for coaches to establish and deliver programs that make a powerfully positive impact on student learning and well-being.

Drawing on more than 20 years at the forefront of Instructional Coaching, Jim Knight guides us through the current state of the field, giving us a detailed but accessible summary and synthesis brought to life with real-world anecdotes and examples.

Building on this foundation - and the work of his team at the Instructional Coaching Group (ICG) - his research-based and field-tested approach identifies seven success factors: Partnership, Communication, Leadership, The Impact Cycle (structuring coaching conversations), Data (setting realistic goals), The Instructional Playbook (choosing strategies), and System Support.

Taken together these are nothing less than a comprehensive framework for Instructional Coaching.

Whether you are at the beginning of your coaching journey or an experienced coach yourself this is an essential guide to a rich and rewarding field. 'Jim truly has delivered a definitive guide'. Tom Sherrington, Teaching WalkThrus
