Are you looking to improve student outcomes with data-driven coaching? Have you been searching for proven tools developed by coaches who have "been there"?
Join other coaches and instructional leaders in this 8-week online book study with Diane Sweeney’s book Student Centered Coaching: A Guide for K-8 Coaches and Principals (2011). Student-Centered Coaching is grounded on the premise that school-based coaching can be designed to directly impact student learning. Shifting the focus from "fixing" teachers to collaborating with them in designing instruction that targets for student achievement makes coaching more respectful and results-based. The book also underscores the critical role of the principal in fostering a culture of learning. Each chapter includes:
- A model for designing and implementing student-centered coaching
- Data-driven coaching tools and techniques focused on student learning
- Specific practices for leading a student-centered coaching effort
