With more than 50 years of combined experience in education and
research, Rosemarye T. Taylor and
Carol Chanter have composed the
second edition of their resource for creating collaborative
coaching partnerships among teachers, instructional coaches,
mentors, administrators, and other leaders to grow student
achievement. Taylor, who is a former Professor of Educational
Leadership at the University of Central
Florida now working as an executive literacy consultant, and

Education, approach instructional coaching with the belief that
accountability is necessary for continuous improvement. This
resource for K–12 educators at all levels is grounded in research
and provides the guidance and tools for building trust and
committing to a coaching system with the ultimate goal of improved
student learning outcomes. Readers will learn how to implement
evidence-based frameworks, clearly define processes and goals, and
encourage innovative thinking by leveraging academic language and
communication strategies to drive success. The book also comes with
a Coaching System Planning Tool, reflective questions, recommended
practices, stories from the field, definition guides for shared
language, and online access to coaching-in-action videos. Available

The Next Step Forward in Word Study and
Phonics by Jan

Guided reading experts Jan
Richardson and Michèle Dufresne provide K–8 educators
with practical guidance for planning and teaching
developmentally-appropriate and targeted word study lessons,
including phonics and spelling, as part of a program for guided
reading levels pre-A–Z. Educators will learn about how readers
solve words, how to assess what students know and need to learn
next, along with the skills, activities, and materials that will
lead them to become proficient word-solvers and independent
readers. The engaging and effective lessons encompass six different
approaches based on a gradual release of responsibility model and
fit within Richardson's best-selling The Next Step Forward
lesson plan framework. Additional resources that pair with the book
include lesson walk-throughs, assessment forms, checklists,
