An outstanding leadership coach has the potential to foster seismic shifts within schools. It’s why we at The Leadership Academy have dedicated more than two decades to coaching educators — providing them with perspective, helping them to explore deeper aspects of themselves, and motivating them to do their best work. We’re thrilled to widely share this expertise with the publication of our brand-new book, Coaching Education Leaders: A Culturally Responsive Approach to Transforming Schools and Systems.
This book leverages The Leadership Academy’s deep experience partnering with schools and school systems to create transformative learning environments where students feel challenged, affirmed, and held to the highest academic standards. Authors Nancy Gutiérrez, Michelle Jarney, and Michael Kim share The Leadership Academy’s groundbreaking approach to coaching, helping educators to learn new techniques and spark meaningful and lasting change.
Whether new, experienced, or looking to adopt a coaching stance with the people they supervise and support, Coaching Education Leaders helps educators to center equity in their coaching conversations by moving beyond scheduling, observations, and other rote tasks. Our tailored and unique “Facilitative Competency-Based” method supports coaches in both helping their coachees to identify areas for improvement and actively facilitating their coachee’s development journey as a pathway to becoming a more effective leader.
With a series of resources, frameworks, strategies, and techniques that help coaches build their personal toolboxes, as well as numerous real-life stories and scenarios that help leaders to envision the tools in action, Coaching Education Leaders adopts the stance of “growing adults to grow students” and taps into an educator’s capacity to unleash the power of young people.
