Book Description
This book is a guide for the creation of “Smart Schools. ” Through the use of the “Education Instructional Coaching Model, American students can display the highest levels of academic achievement. This model is based upon a set of core beliefs that include: • the major goal of educators is to inspire students to become critical thinkers and independent learners; • educators must create environments of small learning communities where a major portion of instruction is devoted to problem solving; • teachers must design student directed instruction; • educational reform is comprehensive and involves every member of the educational community; • instructional coaching which requires mutual respect between a coach and teacher is the corner stone for improving classroom instruction.
