Why coaching?
- Less than 5% of teachers understand and implement what they hear and have modeled for them, but with effective coaching and descriptive feedback, the rate of implementation jumps to 95% (Showers and Joyce 2002)
- The most powerful single modification that enhances student achievement is descriptive feedback (Hattie 1992)
- Provide effective strategies and help novice teachers shape those into what works for them and their students; otherwise, they will never learn to think on their own (Jackson 2013)
