Questioning Coaching Instructional Coaching is the current Big Thing in teacher development. But is it all it's cracked up to be, and what are the common barriers to its successful implementation?

Instructional coaching is at the core of the ECTP, so we loved this thoughtful blog by @adamboxereducation.bsky.social asking is instructional coaching all it's cracked up to be, and what are the common barriers to its successful implementation?

Questioning Coaching Instructional Coaching is the current Big Thing in teacher development. But is it all it's cracked up to be, and what are the common barriers to its successful implementation?

I approached this blog by @adamboxereducation.bsky.social with a fair degree of scepticism because I think coaching is an effective way to make lasting change but he certainly raises many real difficulties in implementing it well.

I think lots of your criticisms (accurately) apply to CPD in schools generally so maybe ppl are broadly in agreement with you? (Shock horror)

Another superb guest! Well worth a listen.

The urge to create you some @carousel-learning.bsky.social retrieval quizzes is strong 💪🏼

Particularly good episode with lots of great thinking on assessment and how it can be effective. Also, I learnt a new Japanese word - kyozaikenkyu - meaning knowledge of instructional materials. If this whetted your appetite for Japanese words in an educational context….

Reading Whole Books, and "Miracles" in Education Yes, kids are reading fewer books in school--and that's a big problem.

Why it's important for kids to read whole books--plus why what happened in Mississippi isn't a "miracle" but evidence that science-aligned teaching can lead to dramatic improvements.
