Get the tools and strategies needed to transform how you think about school supervision that builds capacity, leadership, and learning. This book will help you:

  • Learn to use neuroscience research productively
  • Expand your use of communication skills
  • Understand examples of leaders implementing coach-like behaviors into everyday practice to produce results 
  • Learn specific approaches to supervise and coach for growth 
  • Approach difficult conversations that impact thinking and change with confidence

At the crux of coaching culture is mindset—this book will teach you how to cultivate a growth  mindset and strong emotional intelligence as you coach and  grow  capacity in others.

"RESULTS Coaching Next Steps invites leaders to function as coaches and clearly teaches them how to coach. It is truly transformational for those unfamiliar with coach leadership and for veteran coaches alike. This book transformed me as a school principal and continues to serve as a fundamental resource in training school leaders. It is without a doubt my top recommendation to anyone who asks how to learn coach-leader skills."

"Finally! Another must-have for my professional library! RESULTS Coaching Next Steps speaks to education leaders who continue to focus on being a coach leader, no matter what their title or position. The book drives novice and experienced coaches to reconnect to the essentials and renews your commitment to never interact the same way again."
