"This insightful and impressive book stresses that taking the difficult path with grace and wit is the hallmark of a great coach. In addition, the authors accurately describe what coaches should and should not do for their clients." -- Gail A. Epps, Program Manager, New Teacher Induction 20111128 "This is a much needed book. I found great value in its framework for planning a drastic change in school culture through collaboration among administrators and campus-level stakeholders." -- Vanessa Nieto-Gomez, Training and Professional Development Administrator 20111128

Great instructional guide for school administrators
Nov 18 2012
By Albert and Dana Jones
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
As a professor of educational administration, I highly recommend this book to be used in instructing potential school leaders to the benefits of instructional coaching to build the capacities of school faculties in the context of school change. While Morel and Cushman provide extensive practical strategies to build an instructional coaching program, they state explicitly that instructional coaches are, by design, agents of school change. This awareness that instructional coaching should be perceived by school leaders as an essential element in any school change initiative grounds this book not only in instructional leadership literature, but also in the school change literature. I also found the use of the sailing metaphor used in the book to be very appropriate to the journey a school and district must take to implement a functional instructional coaching program that is based in a school change process. Once again, I highly recommend this book.
