"Student-Centered Coaching: The Moves would have been particularly helpful when I began coaching six years ago. Even now, I have gleaned new insight into what coaching should look like and how to make forward progress with teachers."--Ruthanne Munger, Instructional Coach (5/2/2016 12:00:00 AM)

"This book contains many hands-on techniques that can serve coaches well in working with teachers (and students). It addresses a lot of the common pitfalls that occur when learning to be a coach. The book serves as a great tool for experienced coaches as well as those just entering into the position."

--Ann M. Lorey, Common Core Coach and Science Department Instructional Supervisor (5/2/2016 12:00:00 AM)
