Coaching Classroom Instruction

Coaching Classroom Instruction demonstrates the importance of coaching¿an essential component in effective teaching. Robert J. Marzano and Julia A. Simms, along with their colleagues, guide coaches in giving targeted feedback to teachers and identify specific steps that teachers can take to improve their knowledge and skill. This book includes 280 research-based classroom strategies, organized under forty-one elements of effective teaching, to help coaches move teachers through the five levels of Marzano¿s teacher progress scale. Part of The Classroom Strategies Series, this clear, highly practical guide follows the series format, first summarizing key research and then translating it into recommendations for classroom practice.
