The book helped me see ways to grow as a principal-coach, to make the "evaluation" process more of a growth model to help teachers grow professionally. In my district, there are parts of this book we are currently doing, but I feel like I have some refinement ideas that I can implement next year to grow more as a principal-coach who is reflective in helping others grow. I cannot wait to discuss some of these ideas with my leadership team in order to take the next step towards becoming a true teaching team!

Coach Approach delivers!

This is a great read with the focused tools for creating school based learning Athol Community Elementary School is focused on educating and engaging all members of our community to become inspirational global citizens working to achieve the challenges of tomorrow. evaluation and coaching, and tips for helping all levels of performing teachers with coaching. There are lots of helpful vignettes and many that I have fallen into the trap myself. A great read for the principal/ lead learner aspiring to be a more academic leader than school based management with the mantra of "get out of the office and into the classroom" repeated throughout.
