time a coach helps a teacher implement a new teaching or learning
strategy, the coach is helping every other student that teacher
will teach. One step forward for a teacher is one step forward for
hundreds or thousands of children. Multiply that impact by all a
coach does every day, and you get a clear picture of the value of
instructional coaches. Dr. Jim Knight Slide 22 NEXT STEPS If you
