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 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!

Jim Knight is one of the leading researchers in the field of instructional coaching, and this book is is a "must have" book for anyone researching, working with, or in an instructional coach position. He has a coaching center at the University of Kansas, is easy to reach by email with questions, and has a great website and blog, too, to keep up-to-date as a coach!

And authoritative book obviously written by someone with a good deal of experience I found it very helpful to augment my coaching work.

A wonderful approach to Instructional Coaching that is full of resources and references to investigate the topic even further. If interested in Coaching, this is a priceless guide.

I read it for a class, but it wasn't the worst textbook I've read.
