Effective and practical coaching strategies for new educators plus valuable online coaching tools Many teachers are only observed one or two times per year on average—and, even among those who are observed, scarcely any are given feedback as to how they could improve. The bottom line is teachers do not need to be evaluated so much as they need to be developed and coached. In Get Better A 90-Day Plan for Coaching New Teachers, Paul Bambrick-Santoyo shares instructive tools of how school leaders can effectively guide new teachers to success. Over the course of the book, he breaks down the most critical actions leaders and teachers must take to achieve exemplary results. Designed for coaches as well as beginning teachers, Get Better Faster is an integral coaching tool for any school leader eager to help their teachers succeed. Get Better Faster focuses on what's practical and actionable which makes the book's approach to coaching so effective. By practicing the concrete actions and micro-skills listed in Get Better Faster , teachers will markedly improve their ability to lead a class, producing a steady chain reaction of future teaching success. Though focused heavily on the first 90 days of teacher development, it's possible to implement this work at any time. Junior and experienced teachers alike can benefit from the guidance of Get Better Faster while at the same time closing existing instructional gaps. Featuring valuable and practical online training tools available at Get Better Faster provides agendas, presentation slides, a coach's guide, handouts, planning templates, and 35 video clips of real teachers at work to help other educators apply the lessons learned in their own classrooms.

Get Better Faster: A 90-Day Plan for Coaching New Teachers Reviews

  • Shauna

    I guess I'd say 4.5 stars, because the structure of the book was a bit awkward to get used to. That said, even though it's about coaching new teachers (and it does a great job teaching how to coach new teachers), it emphasizes practice and what a teacher should look for in his/her classroom and how to up the rigor. I plan to re-read it piece by piece and work on a new concept every week until it's mastered. BTW, watching the DVD is REQUIRED, otherwise nothing in this book will stick.

    If you are coaching new teachers in any capacity, you NEED this book! It was a game changer for me in the first week I started using it. My only wish is that I'd had it sooner!

  • Heath

    The best book for coaching new teachers that I am aware of. If you are an administrator and you are looking for a prioritized list of which items to coach new teachers on first, this book is for you.

  • Alicia

    Good advice. I like how it gives a concrete plan, hopefully it will improve my leadership skills this year...

  • Lynn

    So much learned from this book. I am a bit overwhelmed by the information I took in. But, one thing that is stuck in my head and my heart is that we need to strive for perfection. Although, no one will ever be perfect, if we chase perfection, then we will catch excellence. So much learned...

    Great book for coaching teachers. It’s a little more directive than other approaches, but I think there are ways to blend the different styles. I’ve got lots of questions and new things to consider, but I wouldn’t be learning if I didn’t already have questions.
