Even under ideal conditions, teaching is tough work. Facing unrelenting pressure from administrators and parents and caught in a race against time to improve student outcomes, educators can easily become discouraged (or worse, burn out completely) without a robust coaching system in place to support them. For more than 20 years, perfecting such a system has been the paramount objective of best-selling author and coaching guru Jim Knight and his team of researchers at the Instructional Coaching Group (ICG). In The Definitive Guide to Instructional Coaching, Knight offers a blueprint for establishing, administering, and assessing an instructional coaching program laser-focused on every educator's ultimate goal: the academic success of students. Organized around ICG's seven "Success Factors" for great instructional coaching, this book offers * An in-depth guide to the Impact Cycle, ICG's research-based and field-tested model for coaching teachers through issues that matter most to them; * Detailed guidance on how to create a "playbook" of instructional strategies to share with collaborating teachers—and how to model those strategies under different conditions; * Practical advice on preparing for and engaging in substantive, reflective, and teacher-centered coaching conversations; * Best practices for gathering, analyzing, and responding to data for improved teaching and learning; and * Real-life anecdotes and testimonies from educators and coaches who have reaped the benefits of the Impact Cycle in a diverse array of schools. In addition, each chapter of the book contains a learning map to help orient you and a list of valuable additional resources to complement the text. Whether you're new to coaching or well versed in the practice, The Definitive Guide to Instructional Coaching will no doubt prove a cornerstone of your coaching library for years to come.

The Grey County Professional Growth Plan is a framework within which teachers address their professional goals and their questions about classroom practice. It provides the opportunity for teachers at different stages of their careers, and with different goals or preferences for professional interaction, to engage in activities that have the greatest potential to enhance their professionalism. The model is based on the belief that professionalism has both personal and collective dimensions. Teachers on permanent contract with the Grey County Board of Education have the following options for professional growth: peer coaching, clinical supervision, and individual goal setting. This report discusses those options, includes sections on appraisal of teacher performance, and suggests goals for professional teachers.

How can we approach professional development in a thoughtful way, keep teachers motivated, and make the process worthwhile? It's a truth that school leaders can't deny: teachers tend to think of PD as a distraction from the "real work" of the classroom—as something to get through instead of an opportunity to engage, learn, and grow as professionals. Too often, they're absolutely right. When PD is packaged as a one-size-fits-all, one-and-done experience, even content that teachers might greet with enthusiasm won't stay with them for long. It just doesn't stick. In Professional Development That Sticks, Fred Ende makes the case for a better approach—one that melds traditional PD structures with personalized learning. Here, school leaders will find a framework for developing professional learning experiences that spark and maintain teacher motivation and lead to real changes in practice. Ende's three-stage professional development for learning (PDL) process covers critical aspects of planning, providing, and following up. In addition, PDL's Think, Act, and Reflect method ensures your teachers will acquire meaningful, deep, "sticky" learning that lasts.

Recently there has been renewed interest in the field for developing school leaders with the knowledge, skills and abilities for the supervision of instruction and teacher evaluation. Supervision and evaluation are two distinct aspects of educational administration, requiring different skills, knowledge, and actions from school leaders as well as the development of different relationships between administrators and teachers. The focus of this research is teacher professional growth plans, a non-evaluative program involving administrators and teachers. The question that is posed in the research asks educators to give their perceptions on the leadership factors that promote the development of teacher growth plans. This was a qualitative study, using a case-study approach. The case involved teachers and administrators in one school district who were involved in the development of teacher professional growth plans between 2002 and 2004. All teachers who had developed a growth plan during that time period and all administrators were surveyed. Interviews were conducted involving twenty educators. The teacher professional growth plan guide was reviewed and individual teacher growth plan documents were analysed for coherence. Hodgkinson's dimensions of leadership were used to construct the statements for the survey and to formulate the questions for the interviews. The dimensions of leadership included: consideration, situation, production and value. The study found that teachers and administrators perceive leadership consideration for supporting the development of teacher growth plans as an important leadership factor, along with situational factors such as school culture. The study also found that educators reported dissatisfaction with the outcomes of growth plans, or production, and with the value ascribed to both the outcomes of individual growth plans and the growth plan process. The study concludes with recommendations for review and deliberation on the current teacher growth plan program, both at the school district and provincial level, as well as suggestions for policy development and further qualitative, comparative research.

Creativity and critical thinking are key skills for complex, globalised and increasingly digitalised economies and societies. While teachers and education policy makers consider creativity and critical thinking as important learning goals, it is still unclear to many what it means to develop these skills in a school setting. To make it more visible and tangible to practitioners, the OECD worked with networks of schools and teachers in 11 countries to develop and trial a set of pedagogical resources that exemplify what it means to teach, learn and make progress in creativity and critical thinking in primary and secondary education.
