Following an established REL West research protocol, the REL West team conducted a search for research reports and research-based resources on instructional coaching in K-12 educational settings. The literature summary is organized in three parts, for use by the ERWC Steering Committee in the process of revising their coaching approach and materials:
- A summary of information from the research literature organized around four themes: goals of coaching; defining a coaching cycle; effective coaching practices; and structural supports for implementation of effective coaching.
- A list of questions for the Steering Committee members to discuss internally, and with REL West, during the process of developing the Coaching Protocol.
- The reference list, with annotations, for further information.
