Coaching is an increasingly popular strategy for districts seeking large-scale improvement in instruction. To help guide district leaders in the practice, the Annenberg Institute and the Aspen Institute Program on Education have co-published "Coaching: A Strategy for Developing Instructional Capacity." Written by Barbara Neufeld and Dana Roper of Education Matters, Inc., the paper describes what coaching is, what coaches do, the kinds of supports that coaches need, and the potential benefits to both educators and students. The authors base their conclusions primarily on longitudinal, qualitative studies, including hundreds of in-depth interviews in Boston, Corpus Christi, Louisville, and San Diego.(732k PDF file)
