Instructional Leadership in Student-Focused Coaching: Creating Effective systems to Cultivate Student Success
Student-Focused Coaching (SFC) is a highly effective way to improve educator professional development and learning and student outcomes - but to succeed, coaches need to be empowered to lead alongside supervisors and other teacher leaders. Building on Hasbrouck and Michel's widely used guide: Student-Focused Coaching, this book shows educational leaders how to develop and lead a sustainable coaching model. It emphasizes that leadership isn't defined by a title - anyone with insight, commitment, and a student-focused mindset can serve in a coaching role and make a lasting impact.
