Student-Centered Coaching at the Secondary Level

Your straightforward resource for coaching partnerships that focus on student learning

By focusing coaching on student learning―rather than on fixing teachers―a coach can make a measurable impact on student achievement. Sweeney provides guidance for:

• Tackling the challenge of coaching across a variety of content areas at the secondary level
• Extending coaching to teams of teachers, rather than just individuals
• Using standards, such as the Common Core, to coach toward specific goals for student learning
• Embedding formative assessments into coaching conversations
