"There is a definitely a need for effective coaches to serve inexperienced school administrators. This text provides a guidebook and resources to support these coaches. It provides a model that emphasizes strengths and a positive approach. Furthermore, the authors build a strong case for the use of the story as the vehicle for the educational leader to examine possibilities and reflect upon what can be changed."
"We expect a lot from principals. They have to be managers as well as instructional leaders, and work with a variety of stakeholders all at a time when we ask them to do more with less. Fortunately, coaching is a way to help them negotiate these waters, and it is a tried and true method of professional development that helps leaders grow as learners and become better leaders. As usual, Megan Tschannen-Moran does an amazing job of providing a case for coaching and offering a step-by-step process on how to make it impactful.
"The authors of this book have cleverly marshalled and adapted models and tools used in coaching to enhance engagement with educational leaders. The book is clearly written and organized with a positive emphasis on helping coaches to inspire and motivate in order to bring out the very best in their clients, which must lead, longer term, to a better future."
"Leadership coaching has arisen as a powerful intervention in Relationship-Based Professional Development. In this book Megan Tschannen-Moran invites us to see into her world of evocative coaching. She demonstrates how coaching conversations can lead to a flow of energy, enthusiasm and possibilities that bring out movement in people. The author combines her theoretical knowledge with experiences as a coach herself exemplified in wonderful stories and practical examples. As a coach myself I could not stop reading because I was so curious about the next chapter.
"This book reminds us how essential coaching is to the development of effective and equitable school leaders. I recommend this book to novice coaches as they begin to develop a coaching stance, as well as to veterans who are seeking to refine and extend their practice. Tschannen-Moran's strengths-based, design–oriented approach makes this book particularly important for those who supervise school leaders — theirs is fundamentally a coaching relationship, and the wisdom of these pages will inspire and accelerate their efforts."
