Educators today understand that schools must evolve to prepare students for futures in a fast-paced, ever-changing career landscape. As a teacher-turned-coach to instructional coaches all over the world, Sherry St. Clair sees again and again how much support teachers need to rise to this challenge. However, too often, the traditional approach to instructional coaching falls short.

In Coaching Redefined, St. Clair suggests another way. St. Clair invites all educators charged with improving student outcomes--expert and novice coaches, instructional leaders, and principals--to join the coaching redefined movement. In this new paradigm, coaches unlock a virtuous cycle of growth by leading change at both the school and individual levels. By drawing on the wisdom of business leaders and clearly laying out her tried-and-true approach to instructional improvement, St. Clair guides readers to grow into coaches redefined, leading teachers toward their own unlimited growth so that they, in turn, can do the same for students.
