Coaching Whole School Change: Lessons in Practice from a Small High School
''The heart of this book is the detailed descriptions of coaching relationships as they were worked out over the years. The authors eschew academic abstraction and deal with what people see and say and feel--with the relationships and reality of classroom life. And because they are gifted teachers themselves, we get an extra treat--a vivid portrait of good teaching.'' --From the Foreword by Thomas Sobol, Professor Emeritus, Teachers College, Columbia University and former Commissioner of Education for New York State''The heart of this book is the detailed descriptions of coaching relationships as they were worked out over the years.
