Every School Leader Can Become a Coaching Superstar.

In Skyrocket Your Teacher Coaching, Michael Cary Sonbert offers a rocket-fueled, no-nonsense approach to helping school leaders launch high-impact instructional coaching in their schools.

The book pinpoints problematic trends in current instructional coaching frameworks and approaches, and outlines a simple, step-by-step process that emphasizes providing precise and direct feedback, actionable steps for teachers, practice and real-time coaching, mutual accountability, and most importantly, a focus on students and student outcomes.

School leaders who practice the Skyrocket method will be able to answer in the affirmative to the questions below after every coaching meeting they have.

• Did that teacher just get significantly better at something?
• Did the teacher know their next steps?
• Have I put systems in place to hold them accountable?

An indispensable resource for school leaders, Skyrocket Your Teacher Coaching provides an unparalleled tool for increasing school leader skill and accelerating teacher performance while always putting students first.
