In her persistent and thoughtful way, Dr. Zepeda has seamlessly brought research and practice together to describe, analyze, and develop ideas around coaching for successful teaching and leading. Her work is characteristically informed from research experts who happen also to be doing the real work of schooling every day. It is the capacity for having one foot in the research literature and one foot in the practice of teaching and leading, that we find a refreshing and somewhat unique approach to developing teachers and leaders. Dr. Zepeda has managed never to lose her bearing when it comes to writing in authentic and impactful ways. Her cadre of writers, experts from the field who have done their own independent research, reflect that grounded approach and as a consequence, the reader enjoys a thoughtful, relevant, and meaningful narrative.
There is also a special quality to this writing that reflects Dr. Zepeda’s world view, I suspect. When we read her work, and the work of her collaborators, we come away with this idea, an audacious assumption, that we all have the capacity for remarkable work and if we are reflective, careful, and engaged, then our children will act similarly. Imagine that: a school culture where leaders, teachers, and students are reflective, caring, and engaged. Dr. Zepeda offers us a way to be such a place.
(Zach Kelehear, Dean of the College of Education and Vice President for Instruction and Innovation, Augusta University)Another grand-slam, home-run for Dr. Sally Zepeda! This amazing book is a much needed “wake up” call and guide to coaching, especially considering the high attrition rate for new teachers. Administrators, teacher leaders, professional development directors, and anyone working with new teachers and coaching have long anticipated the clear, concise presentation of practical ideas and strategies. Numerous strategies, focused on the conservation and belongingness needed to retain and develop novice teachers, are illuminated in this body of work. The insights and direction provided by the authors are timely and highly applicable to any setting. This book is a valuable reference and a must-read for anyone involved in coaching.
