Great teachers make a huge difference to students' lives. Empowering teachers to make consistent improvements to their practice, throughout their careers, is the key to this. How can schools create the conditions for this to happen?Instructional Coaching - an evidence-based, school-centred approach to supporting teachers - seems to be the answer. Over the last thirty years, significant evidence has emerged suggesting that it's one of the most effective tools we have to improve teaching. To ensure that teachers can benefit from the power of Instructional Coaching, it's vital that we are clear about what it is, and how best to do it.Responsive Coaching will answer these questions, and more. Bridging the gap between research and real coaching practice, Josh Goodrich examines the evidence about why teaching is so difficult to get better at, and how we can empower teachers to make consistent improvement. He examines contrasting coaching models, using research and practical experience to build a hybrid coaching model that enables coaches to flex their approach depending on where a teacher is on their journey towards expertise. Josh distils his Responsive Coaching approach into five central areas, unpacking the underpinning research, giving concrete examples of great coaching in action, and ending with a toolkit of practical coaching strategies that you can use, today, to support every teacher to improve.Combining robust research evidence from a wide range of fields with the practical wisdom of experienced, effective teachers, leaders and coaches, the book is a complete toolkit for building coaching that really works, for every teacher.
