Quality Teaching in a Culture of Coaching

Steve Barkley wrote this book with the hope that it would both inspire you to continue or initiate a coaching program, and serve as a resource as you implement and build your own coaching program.


It is filled with concrete examples, opportunities to practice specific skills, a clearly defined coaching process, and real-life anecdotes and quotes to pepper it up in the process. This book promises to provide a framework to incorporate a culture of coaching into your own educational environment.
