For more than 25 years, Jim Knight and his colleagues have been developing, refining, and studying instructional coaching. In The Definitive Guide to Instructional Coaching, Jim has summarised that research in seven success factors that need to be a part of any successful coaching programme.
In this interactive presentation, Jim will discuss each factor, explain why it is essential for success, and explain how it can be implemented.
Anyone who is interested in coaching or coaching programmes should find this session very useful.
Jim Knight, Senior Partner of Instructional Coaching Group (ICG), is also a research associate at the University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning. He has spent more than two decades studying professional learning and Instructional Coaching. Jim earned his PhD in Education from the University of Kansas and has won several university teaching, innovation, and service awards.
The pioneering work that Jim and his colleagues have conducted has led to many innovations that are now central to professional development in schools. Jim wrote the first major article about Instructional Coaching for the Journal of Staff Development, and his book Instructional Coaching (2007) offered the first extended description of instructional coaching. Jim’s book Focus on Teaching (2014) was the first extended description of how video should be used for professional learning. Writing with Ann Hoffman, Michelle Harris, and Sharon Thomas, Jim introduced the idea of instructional playbooks with their book on that topic along with Evaluating Instructional Coaching (2021).
Jim has written several books in addition to those mentioned above, including Unmistakable Impact (2011), High-Impact Instruction (2013), Better Conversations (2015), The Impact Cycle (2018), and The Definitive Guide to Instructional Coaching (2021). Jim’s most recent book is Data Rules, written with Michael Faggella-Luby, due for release in September 2024.
Jim Knight also hosts the Coaching Conversations podcast, and he has partnered with organisations from all continents except Antarctica.
