Reviews / Votes
Coaching with Powerful Interactions, Second Edition, is a deeply thoughtful, foundational book for coaches. It's an invaluable guide that clearly takes you through the process of self-reflection to create authentic, meaningful, and equitable partnerships with the educators you work with. The abundant personal narratives are really effective because coaching is so focused on human relationships. It's just a gem for coaches!-Juliette Lahey, Early Childhood Coach, Community Action Partnership of San Luis Obispo
Post-COVID burnout, staffing issues, and compensation are negatively affecting the early childhood workforce. This book walks you, step-by-step, through how to engage in strengths-based coaching. By following the steps, I am able to notice what my staff is doing well and empower them to engage in reflection and shared decision making.
-Jennifer Metzger, Training and Curriculum Specialist
Coaching, like teaching, is a skill that is refined over time and requires ongoing effort to improve practice. Coaching with Powerful Interactions is a valuable tool for both new and seasoned coaches in support of their ever-evolving work and relationships with teachers.
-Angela Zilch, Assistant Director of Professional Development and Training, Southwest Human Development
