"Jim Knight is one of the wise men of coaching. His well is deep;
he draws from it the best tools from practitioners, the wisdom of
experience, and research-based insights. And he never loses sight
of the bigger picture: the point of all this is to have more impact
in this life we're lucky enough to live." -MICHAEL BUNGAY STANIER,
Author of The Coaching Habit Every decade or so a book comes along
that has such a profound impact on professional practice that it
launches a movement. Such was the case ten years ago with Jim
Knight's Instructional Coaching. Now, it's about to happen again
with The Impact Cycle and this The Reflection Guide to The Impact
Cycle, in which Jim shares his latest thinking, and advances an
all-new instructional coaching cycle to help teachers and, in turn,
their students improve in clear, measurable ways. What makes this
Reflection Guide the perfect companion to The Impact Cycle? Because
it functions almost like a daily planner for reaching, even
exceeding, your coaching goals. Jam-packed with key concepts,
prompts, and exercises, this guide will prove indispensable to
Coaches who wish to accelerate progress toward goals and move their
practices forward Leaders of coaches looking for a simple,
effective model to get all stakeholders on the same page Join the
hundreds of thousands of educators who already have benefited from
Jim's ground-breaking work. Read The Impact Cycle, build upon your
expertise with this companion Reflection Guide, and soon enough

Every worthwhile book has a deeply held belief, and for Jim
Knight's Better Conversations and this worktext, The Reflection
Guide to Better Conversations, here it is: "Effective communication
is an essential skill for a fulfilled life, and we can't teach it
to students if we don't know how to do it ourselves." Instructional
coaches, administrators, teachers . . . really everyone: the royal
we is you. In this Reflection Guide, Jim delivers a framework for
improving professional dialogue that is so clearly signposted, you
might as well call it a day planner. Here's how The Reflection
Guide to Better Conversations works: In Part One, you and your
peers engage in surveys, take stock, and record video in order to
get real about your current beliefs and abilities. How do you
measure up when it comes to empathy, asking better questions?
Finding common ground? In Part Two, learn about the 10 habits of
being an effective communicator, and put them into practice. Are
your conversations focused on others 50 percent of the time? What
things typically distract you from being fully present? In Better
Conversations, Jim Knight reveals why true dialogue improves
professional performance, job satisfaction, and classroom
instruction. Together with this Reflection Guide, the two books
provide a brilliant, scaffolded professional learning experience on
a topic central to learning, central to life. This is the
district-wide solution you need-are you ready?
