“Sherry St. Clair offers a fresh approach to instructional coaching. Pulling on years of actual experience helping schools grow in this area, she offers practical strategies from which any educator can glean invaluable insight. The appendices alone will greatly expand anyone’s coaching toolbox.”

Eric Sheninger, Senior Fellow, International Center for Leadership in Education and Author, Digital Leadership and Co- Author, Learning Transformed

​

“Coaching Redefined will turn you from a good instructional coach into a great one with the application of new tools gleaned by St. Clair from the business world. And with coaching based on solid values and energized by new perspectives, you can guide the teachers under your care to greatness as well. This book is transformational in its scope and inspirational in its approach.”

Daniel H. Pink, Author, WHEN and DRIVE

​

“Coaching can’t be something we simply think about doing; it has to be something we are always doing. In Coaching Redefined, author Sherry St. Clair makes a compelling case for the “why” of instructional coaching, and also the “how.” Delivering coaching is a skill; so too is receiving coaching. Whether you are the recipient of coaching, or the vessel through which it flows, you will find incredible value in the pages of St. Clair’s book. I’ve had the privilege of coaching alongside her. She is the real deal. Start reading—and redefine what coaching can be.”

Weston Kieschnick, Best-Selling Author of Bold School and Senior Fellow, International Center for Leadership in Education

​

“As in every professional function, executive and instructional coaching requires a unique set of skills. In this book, Sherry St. Clair captures and very effectively describes these skills. Drawing on her personal experiences as a highly effective coach for multiple school districts, she provides both the organizational leadership structure and specific instructional strategies needed for effective coaching.”  Dr. Bill Daggett, Founder and Chairman, International Center for Leadership in Education

​

“A beautiful thing about effective coaching is that benefits accrue to both the coach and the coachee—often exceeding those anticipated. In Coaching Redefined, St. Clair combines the latest research across business and education with the wisdom of practice from years in the field to guide that journey and strengthen its impact.”

Vicki Phillips, Executive Vice President and Chief Education Officer at National Geographic

​

“Coaching Redefined takes a refreshing ‘systems’ approach to working with educators, providing clear, actionable tools and protocols for anyone wanting not only to support individual teachers, but also to positively impact the way learning happens at all levels of a school.”
