Now in a revised and updated second edition for today's changing K–12 landscape, this
book gives instructional coaches an innovative framework for building strong
relationships and enacting positive change in schools. Emphasizing a systems
approach, Rita M. Bean and Jacy Ippolito explain the multiple roles of the coach as
change agent, facilitator, designer, and advocate. Vivid examples show how effective
coaches draw on these mindsets in working with individual teachers and groups and in
developing, implementing, and sustaining schoolwide instructional programs. The book is rich with “Voices from the Field” vignettes; chapter-opening questions; and end-of-chapter discussion prompts, learning activities, and resources. Reproducible coaching tools can be copied from the book or downloaded from the companion website.
