Expert guidance on coaching and mentoring

Mentors and coaches play a vital role in the teaching profession by providing support, training, and collegiality, alleviating the isolation that teachers so often experience. Coaching expert Jim Knight brought together leading-edge scholars and practitioners of K-12 professional development for this compilation of their visions of coaching, including:

  • Mentoring
  • Instructional coaching
  • Content coaching
  • Cognitive coaching

Additional topics include mentoring beginning teachers, intergenerational considerations, and working with different personality types. These excellent insights from experienced coaches are especially valuable in supporting teachers in meeting today’s accountability challenges.

Join Jim Knight and other experts at the 2014 Instructional Coaching Conference to explore how whole school reform is enhanced when principals, teachers, and coaches use collaborative planning and effective Instructional Coaching techniques to improve student learning: www.corwin.com/tlc
