Books by Jim Knight

Offers a blueprint for establishing, administering, and assessing an instructional coaching program laser-focused on every educator's ultimate goal: the academic success of students.

Every day, teachers need the best resources and forms of support because students deserve the best we as educators can offer. An instructional playbook aims to serve as that kind of support: a tool that coaches can use to help teachers match specific learning goals with the right research-based instructional strategies.

Jim Knight introduces an all-new instructional coaching cycle for ensuring teachers and, in turn, their students improve in clear, measurable ways.

This book will help you communicate clearly, help you learn, help you connect, help you be better. At the heart of its innovation is the belief that we can "self-coach" ourselves to become better communicators.

Effective communication is an essential skill for a fulfilled life, and we can't teach it to students if we don't know how to do it ourselves. In this reflection guide, the author delivers a framework for improving professional dialogue that is so clearly signposted, you might as well call it a day planner.

This invaluable resource presents a clear process for using video to promote professional growth and teacher effectiveness.
