Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instructional coaching as a form of job embedded professional development is a common practice in many school districts. An instructional coaching model requires thoughtful planning, design, and funding to become a common practice in schools and the perceptions of the classroom teacher as the primary recipient of such in service is essential to fostering a district culture of ongoing teaching and learning. This study intends to determine what are elementary school teachers' perceptions of being coached in elementary mathematics, in what ways instructional coaching is effective, and the extent to which teacher perceptions and beliefs impact the implementation of an instructional coaching model in a school district. In an attempt to contribute to previous literature, this study seeks to understand the lived experiences of teachers who were coached in mathematics during the 2019-2020 school year. By inquiring and gathering data of teacher perceptions of their experiences, future policy and practice of various Local Education Agencies in determining revisions and refinement to current coaching model initiatives. This case study contributes to current research and embodies a unique subset of characteristics that have the potential to be replicated and further developed in consideration of collected kindergarten- fifth grade teacher perceptions of being provided with job embedded professional development during the 2019-2020 school year by a content specific math coach.

Book excerpt: This study examines how instructional coaching shapes teacher learning in elementary/intermediate mathematics education. Coaching is an initiative that is currently being implemented in a large Ontario Board of Education to address the teaching and learning needs in mathematics education. This multi-case study, with a cross-case analysis examines the perceptions of five elementary and intermediate teachers and four instructional coaches who have participated in instructional coaching specific to mathematics. The overall impression of instructional coaching from the participants' perspectives was a positive one. Instructional coaching as a form of professional learning adhered to many of the components that are deemed to be important for effective professional learning environments of taking place over time, embedded in the teachers' practice, self-directed, and relevant (Desimone, 2009). The teachers took an active role in their learning by choosing and determining the focus of the coaching sessions, and at the end of the study, commented about how they were incorporating aspects of the instructional coaching learning into their mathematics practice. The instructional coaches also commented about the work having impact, emphasizing the importance of choice and working with teachers who had elected to participate in the instructional coaching initiative. The major findings from the study are: (1) perceptions of the instructional coaching vary amongst the superintendents, administrators and teachers; (2) instructional coaching is an effective means of professional learning; (3) it is evident that the teachers perceived that their mathematics program was positively impacted by the work that took place with their instructional coach; (4) instructional coaching has a transient nature to it because there were many changes in personnel, which meant that some schools were working with various instructional coaches since the program was first introduced; and (5) instructional coaching has the ability to make school-wide change, through the work done with collaborative inquiry groups, as well as individual teachers. Findings from the study may inform how instructional coaching is implemented in school districts. The hiring practices of how coaches are selected and assigned to various schools need to be considered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leading for Instructional Improvement Educational experts agree that quality teaching is the single most important factor in improving educational outcomes for all students. Teaching is a highly sophisticated and complex endeavor requiring deep expertise on the part of teachers and school leaders. This book shows how teacher, school, and district leaders can cultivate the expertise of teachers to deliver high quality instruction for all students. Leading for Instructional Improvement captures the nationally acclaimed work conducted by the Center for Educational Leadership at the University of Washington in its effort to improve the quality of teaching and leadership in schools across the country. The book provides extensive practical guidance grounded in theory and research, along with powerful stories and examples from classrooms, schools, and districts. Many of the tools, protocols, and frameworks contained in this book can be accessed electronically by visiting the Center for Educational Leadership website at www.k-12leadership.org. Praise for Leading for Instructional Improvement "This book offers insights that are invaluable to educators who seek to enhance teacher effectiveness now. The ideas presented are practical and applicable to schools in a variety of settings." PEDRO A. NOGUERA, Ph.D., Peter L. Agnew Professor of Education, Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Development and executive director, Metropolitan Center for Urban Education "A deep and thoughtful look at how the issue of expertise is cultivated. Seizing upon their Center's research-based instructional framework, the authors provide important insights and tools." DR. BEVERLY HALL, superintendent, Atlanta Public Schools "In this age of intense focus on how we evaluate teachers, we have to remember that any evaluation is only as good as the evaluator. This extremely useful book provides an excellent roadmap for how principals can become more effective in the most important aspect of their work, instructional leadership." JERRY D. WEAST, Ed.D., superintendent of schools, Montgomery County Public Schools, Maryland "Fink and Markholt offer practitioners a guide to effective teaching. Leading for Instructional Improvement asks us to heed the lessons within and support the kind of teacher education that will improve student achievement for today's schools and those of tomorrow."

Book excerpt: The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to investigate elementary teachers’ perceptions of instructional coaching compared to their years of experience and their levels of education. This researcher worked cooperatively with one rural school district in north, central North Carolina and used an online survey instrument with both open- and closed-ended questions to gather data. Two hundred sixty-three elementary classroom teachers were asked to complete the survey; 131 teachers did so with a response rate of 49.8%. Chi square statistical tests were run for the Likert responses on the quantitative portion, and open-ended coding was used for the qualitative piece. Results indicated that there was no significant difference in teacher perceptions of instructional coaching according to their levels of education and little significant difference in perceptions according to years of experience. Open-ended responses indicate that further research should be done to explore instructional coaching training needs, time limitations, other non-coaching responsibilities, and roles of instructional coaches.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to examine teacher perceptions of the impact mathematics content coaches have had on instructional practices and on student learning. Data were collected from teachers in Grades 3, 4, and 5 who were teaching in five schools during the 2009-2010 academic school year. The Alabama State Department of Education survey was used to collect data. The survey consisted of two parts. The first part was composed of 41 questions using a 5-point Likert-type scale. The second part consisted of three open-ended questions. Interview data were collected from a purposeful sample of teachers. Responses to survey items can be grouped into four main themes: performance, collaboration, environment, and attitude. There was little difference found among the responses. Within all four themes, the response type of almost always has the highest frequency of occurrence (62%), with usually being the second most chosen response (23%). These results demonstrate that participants are very satisfied with the mathematics coaches' performance, collaboration, environment, and attitude. Few respondents chose usually, sometimes, and rarely as their response choice. Responses to the open-ended questions revolved around three main themes: lesson modeling, which included observation and feedback; lesson development; and frequency of teachers meetings with their coach. A few respondents did not have the opportunity to meet with their coach on a weekly basis. The overwhelming theme suggested by those who responded to the final question revolved around spending more time in the classroom. Interviewees commented that their content coach had taught them to be reflective thinkers through observation and feedback. Although survey data were subjected to an exploratory factor analysis, given the relatively small number of survey respondents, these data are of limited value. They are, however, reported because of the wide use of the instrument in Alabama. These data suggest that there were four latent factors underlying the 41 survey questions: performance, collaboration, environment, and attitude. Although Cronbach [alpha] coefficients indicated strong internal consistency for all four factors, these should be interpreted cautiously, because of the small sample size.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This mixed-methods study sought to explore the impact the role a mathematics curriculum coach has on teacher efficacy and instructional practice. School systems across the country are being asked to do more with less money. At the same time, districts are faced with mathematics standards that require a new approach to instruction. In response to these issues, school districts are choosing to implement the role of a mathematics curriculum coach. As a result, the question is raised, “are the funds utilized for math coaches being used effectively?” This mixed-methods study compared two schools of similar makeup. School A employs a math curriculum coach, while School B employs a general curriculum coach. Through the use of a survey (MTEBI), curriculum coach journaling, focus groups, and one-on-one interviews, this study sought to answer three research questions: (a) What is the impact of the use of a math curriculum coach on teacher instructional practices in the area of math; (b) What is the impact of the use of a math curriculum coach on teacher perceptions of their instructional practice; and (c) What is the impact of the use of a math curriculum coach on teacher sense of self-efficacy? The survey was administered to all teachers at both schools with an overall response rate of 63.6%. The focus groups and interviews were a small random sample of teachers at each school who provided an in-depth view of their perceptions regarding the impact of the coaches on their instructional practice and self-efficacy as related to mathematics. The teachers had high levels of self-efficacy when teaching math and high outcome expectancy. These measures did not change over the period of the study. This study found that the math curriculum coach did have an impact on teacher instructional practices.

Book excerpt: There is a lack of implementation of instructional strategies to assist middle school teachers in improving mathematics education for their students. Coaching is one solution to this problem, but its impact on student achievement is unclear. This case study evaluated the relationship between coaching and teacher efficacy and the impact of these constructs on mathematics student achievement at a charter school in the southern United States. The study was based on the theory of instructional coaching as a model for teachers' professional development. A dependent samples "t" test was used to analyze district quarterly mathematics data from the Northwest Education Association Measure of Academic Progress (nwea map) during the implementation of coached strategies. The analysis indicated a significant increase in mathematics achievement from 3rd to 4th quarter for 400 students in grades five through eight, "t"(399) = -4.011, p =0.028. Surveys, journals, and interviews were also used to determine how coaching recommendations were implemented, the degree of teacher support received, and perceptions among teachers and the coach. A line-by-line analysis of participants' responses was conducted, leading to the disclosure of themes that were used to determine efficacy of the program. The major findings were the need to develop the role of the coach; increase teacher learning through observation; schedule sufficient time for teachers and the coach to collaborate on student learning; and work to improve teacher self-efficacy. This study could contribute to positive social change by demonstrating how coaches can assist educators in changing mathematical teaching strategies to align with students' needs in the 21st century to appropriately educate students for life in a technological world facing major and continuing challenges.
