What is Instructional Coaching?

Instructional coaching is a form of teacher development based on an approach to observation and follow-up conversations advocated in Leverage Leadership by Paul Bambrick-Santoyo. It is a practical way for middle and senior leaders to improve the effectiveness of teachers.

The TKAT RISE instructional coaching cycle of improvement:

Instructional coaching differs from pure coaching. Pure coaching focuses on a wide range of personal and professional development issues, whereas instructional coaching focuses specifically on teaching practice.

The RISE instructional coaching dialogue typically includes recognition of strengths, identifying the next small step of improvement, exploring strategies and experiencing good.

The essential characteristics are:

• The process focuses on one action-step at a time
• Each step is followed up with the coachee to reflect on impact
• The interval between observation and follow-up is minimal
• Observations and follow-up conversations are planned into the organisation of the school
• Instructional coaching is disciplined, with common elements and training for coaches
• Instructional coaching is developmental and not part of performance management
• Coachees have ownership of the outcomes of instructional coaching

Why consider instructional coaching?

Raising standards depends on the quality of teachers. Pupils can make three times more progress with the most effective teachers than with the least effective (McKinsey, 2007).

Instructional coaching can make teaching more effective, more satisfying and more successful. Across a school, it can raise teaching quality and consistency.

The instructional approach involves absorbing and applying new knowledge, enriched by reflection and modelling. Frequent follow-up conversations lead to rapid development. Each action-step seeks small improvements, and these build quickly into significant changes.
