The Impact Cycle: What Instructional Coaches Should Do to Foster Powerful Improvements in Teaching de Jim Knight

The Impact Cycle: What Instructional Coaches Should Do to Foster Powerful Improvements in Teaching

Autor Jim Knight
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 oct 2017

Manual de referință în domeniul mentoratului didactic, The Impact Cycle reprezintă sinteza a peste zece ani de cercetare și sute de sesiuni de formare conduse de Jim Knight. Suntem de părere că această lucrare depășește stadiul de simplu ghid teoretic, propunând un ciclu de coaching riguros, conceput să elimine fragmentarea dintre pregătirea teoretică din cancelarie și realitatea de la catedră. Structura cărții urmărește progresiv pașii necesari pentru o schimbare reală în sala de clasă: de la etapa de identificare a realității curente prin analiză video, până la implementarea unui 'Instructional Playbook' și monitorizarea progresului prin obiective măsurabile.

Comparabil cu Instructional Coaching în rigurozitate, acest volum este actualizat pentru noile cerințe de transparență și eficiență din mediul școlar modern, oferind o metodologie mult mai aplicată. Dacă în lucrările sale anterioare, precum Focus on Teaching, autorul punea accent pe puterea înregistrărilor video ca instrument de învățare, în The Impact Cycle acesta integrează tehnologia într-un sistem complet de dialog și parteneriat între coach și profesor. Cartea include secțiuni dedicate colectării datelor și ascultării active, elemente esențiale pentru orice lider educațional care dorește să promoveze o cultură a excelenței. Modelul propus, bazat pe obiectivele PEERS, asigură că orice intervenție pedagogică rămâne centrată pe nevoile reale ale elevului, facilitând o îmbunătățire vizibilă a performanței școlare prin strategii de 'Deep Coaching'.

Recenzii

"Jim Knight is one of the wise men of coaching. His well is deep, and he draws from it the best tools from practitioners, the wisdom of experience, and research-based insights. And he never loses the bigger picture: the point of all this is to have more impact in this life we're lucky enough to live."

"I have had many opportunities to learn with and from Jim Knight. I’ve learned as a participant in his workshops, reading his books, and being on panels with him. Now, The Impact Cycle adds to my skills and insights. Jim’s vision of the coach as a partner who sets goals with the teacher, strategizes with and supports the teacher, and monitors changes with the teacher until the goal is met will assist many instructional coaches in targeting their efforts. Student- focused goals will be a game changer in many coaching initiatives and guarantee that coach and teacher investment in teacher learning is impacting student learning."

"Once again, Jim Knight has earned his reputation as the reigning expert in instructional coaching. With his trademark clarity and heart, Knight manages to capture both the simplicity and complexity of coaching in an accessible, detailed, and nuanced framework for instructional coaches. Packed with insight, concrete examples, and practical tools, The Impact Cycle is an indispensable guide for coaches who want to make the biggest possible difference for students."
"Coaching done well may be the most effective intervention designed for human performance. Jim Knight’s work has helped me understand the details of how effective coaching can and should be done."

"Continuous improvement is fueled by a focus on improving the quality of teaching and learning. The Impact Cycle provides educators with the strategies and the tools necessary to make that improvement a reality. I have had the opportunity to see how Knight’s model works first-hand and can attest to its effectiveness. The emphasis on effective partnerships with shared responsibility and ownership combined with a goal-oriented coaching cycle results in lasting and meaningful changes for teachers and students. This book shares a clear vision for powerful instructional coaching along with the specific steps to make that vision a reality. Knight's The Impact Cycle is essential reading for educators who are committed to real and lasting change."
"The Impact Cycle is an essential read for instructional coaches. It is organized to take the reader through each stage of an impact cycle, providing a vision for how to coach for a deeper impact. It is filled with stories from the field, allowing the reader to walk in the shoes of other coaches. In the end, all coaching is about creating meaning and supporting teachers to reach their goals, this book supports coaches to do just that."
"In this very helpful book, Jim Knight builds on knowledge gained from over two decades of assisting coaches to inspire and guide teachers to improve their instruction. Following his own advice to "stay curious", Jim continues to expand upon his coaching model to explicate new dimensions of the coaching relationship. Conversational and informative, this book will be a useful resource for any coach working in the field."
“There is no one more passionate about improving every student’s learning experience than Jim Knight and in The Impact Cycle Jim has done it again with another well researched and immensely practical book. There are some great features here - the visual maps that introduce each chapter, the numerous checklists and templates, links to the Companion Website, helpful chapter summaries and great recommended resources in the Going Deeper sections. This is a book which will be referred to often. Instructional coaches will be an even better resource for the teachers with whom they work as a result of reading and using this book.”
