The Instructional Coaching Effect: How Coaching Builds Confident and Committed Teachers($11.99Value)

Description

Across the country, teachers are carrying heavier workloads, facing rising expectations, and leaving the classroom at alarming rates. Schools are searching for answers—but a powerful, research-backed solution already exists within reach: instructional coaching . In The Instructional Coaching Effect , Dr. Derrick Perdue presents a compelling blend of research, real teacher perspectives, and practical insight that reveals how coaching strengthens the two foundational belief systems that drive teacher success: self-efficacy and responsibility beliefs . Drawing on a study of 184 teachers, Perdue uncovers clear evidence that teachers who participate in coaching develop stronger confidence, deeper ownership of student outcomes, and a renewed commitment to the profession. Through vivid explanations and teacher-centered findings, this book highlights the coaching practices that have the greatest impact—collaborative PLCs, meaningful feedback, peer observations, reflective dialogue, and supportive coaching cycles that elevate teachers rather than judge them. More than a research study, this is a roadmap. School leaders, coaches, and educators will discover practical tools and insights they can use immediately to strengthen teaching, build a culture of growth, and reduce teacher turnover. The Instructional Coaching Effect shows that when teachers feel supported, equipped, and empowered, they don’t just stay—they thrive.
