The education landscape is changing at a rapid pace. As educators, we realize the need for change and are constantly looking for ways to create excellent opportunities for our students. Knowing we need to change and knowing how to change are two very different concepts. In Leadership Coaching for Educators, Karla Reiss makes a compelling argument for leadership coaching as the means to facilitate organizational change. She provides valuable information on the 'how to' by providing the rationale and knowledge base we need in order to create a coaching culture in our schools. Reiss provides a 'practitioners model' of how everyone in education can benefit from a coaching model. Leadership Coaching for Educators shows how a coaching environment can improve efficacy and sustain initiatives that ultimately lead to student success!

-- Jana L. Frieler, Director of Professional Learning and former NASSP President
Too many professional learning opportunities suffer from the learning-doing gap. Coaching is one of the best ways to close that gap. Coaching helps educators make changes in classroom, school, and district practices that improve student learning. Karla Reiss's book takes both a theoretical and boots-on-the-ground approach to coaching, bridging the gap between learning and doing. Reiss's analysis of recent research on coaching and the details she provides about mind sets, competencies and sub-competencies, and skill sets make this an powerful book for educational leaders and those who want to enhance their leadership skills. The examples and stories she provides make the learning concrete and help readers see themselves as leadership coaches. The scenarios, dialogues and coaching tips are particularly instructive, helping readers 'bottom-line' the essential details. Her positive approach to personal and professional change makes me want to embark on a coaching career or, even better, seek a coach myself. Her writing left me full of hope that education can change. -- Lois Easton, author of Professional Learning Communities by Design and Engaging the Disengaged
