Coaches guidebook for the new Instructional coach

When I became an instructional coach I thought it would be easy, but reality soon set in. I was unsure how best to approach my colleagues in a way that would be both helpful and non-threatening to them. I was often coming off sounding more like a know-it-all, fix-it guy, than a coach. Then I discovered this book. Barkley will guide you through his three step coaching model that is comprised of: the pre observation conference, the observation and the post observation conference. The book provides an excellent rationale for the method and clear instructions for carrying out the method in a way that is both friendly and helpful. The agenda of the teacher who has asked for coaching is always in the forefront with the method. After incorporating Barkley's techniques into my own practice, it did not take long to have people coming to me asking for help. I was constantly busy and people were getting the help they wanted and needed.
