Literacy Coaching Challenge

When the goal is supporting excellent teaching, there is no "one-size-fits-all" approach. This book helps literacy coaches and administrators navigate the many choices involved in developing and fine-tuning a coaching program that offers the best fit for a particular school. The authors draw on current research as well as their extensive experience in K-8 settings. They provide clear guidance (with helpful reproducibles) on: * Major coaching models and how to choose among them. * Applying principles of adult learning and motivation. * The role of reading assessment in coaching. * Balancing classroom-level, grade-level, and whole-school tasks. * Special considerations in middle school coaching.McKenna, Michael C. is the author of 'Literacy Coaching Challenge', published 2008 under ISBN 9781593857110 and ISBN 159385711X.
