Traditional PD programmes often leave teachers feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, with minimal impact on student learning. Responsive Coaching offers the remedy to this.

“Practical, wise, and research-informed… For those whose work involves helping teachers become the best versions of themselves, it will be indispensable.”

— Doug Lemov, Teach Like a Champion

We’re proud to announce the release of Responsive Coaching: Evidence-informed instructional coaching that works for every teacher in your school – by our founder Josh Goodrich!

Traditional PD programmes often leave teachers feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, with minimal impact on student learning. Responsive Coaching offers the remedy to this. It dismantles the one-size-fits-all approach, offering a evidence-driven and flexible framework for coaching.

Responsive Coaching is written to help school teachers, coaches and leaders:

  • 1.
    Empower teachers for long-term success: The book covers the five essential catalysts for teacher change, such as strengthening awareness and building habits.
  • 2.
    Build a thriving school culture: Create a safe, supportive environment where teachers feel comfortable experimenting and collaborating with colleagues.
  • 3.
    Focus on impact and measurable results: Break free from generic PD. RC targets specific areas for improvement, aligning coaching with school or trust goals and using data to review progress.

You can now order a copy and watch our webinar featuring Josh Goodrich exploring the ideas in Responsive Coaching with Kat Howard, Claire Hill and Peps Mccrea.

If you have any questions or comments – we’d love to hear from you!
