Literacy Coaching to Build Adolescent Learning covers key areas of coaching, such as understanding the role of the literacy coach, using conversation wisely, supporting other teachers, and design needs, and provides practical suggestions for implementing differentiated and ongoing professional learning for teachers.
"This book has been long-awaited by literacy professionals in middle and high schools. While more and more schools are seeing the value of hiring secondary literacy coaches, very few resources are available to guide new coaches or help school leaders support a coaching model. In this book, Guth and Pratt-Fartro use their combined years of experience to provide research-based yet very practical guidance in a highly readable format."
