Making the Most of Instructional Coaches
Kane, Britnie Delinger; Rosenquist, Brooks
Phi Delta Kappan, v99 n7 p21-25 Apr 2018
Although coaching holds great promise for professional development, instructional coaches are often asked to take on responsibilities that are not focused on improving instruction. The authors discuss a quantitative study of four school districts and a qualitative analysis of a single district that, together, reveal how hiring practices and school assignments play a role in coaches' use of time.
