About
Across the country, teachers are carrying heavier workloads, facing rising expectations, and leaving the classroom at alarming rates. Schools are searching for answers-but a powerful, research-backed solution already exists within reach: instructional coaching.
In The Instructional Coaching Effect, Dr. Derrick Perdue presents a compelling blend of research, real teacher perspectives, and practical insight that reveals how coaching strengthens the two foundational belief systems that drive teacher success: self-efficacy and responsibility beliefs. Drawing on a study of 184 teachers, Perdue uncovers clear evidence that teachers who participate in coaching develop stronger confidence, deeper ownership of student outcomes, and a renewed commitment to the profession.
Through vivid explanations and teacher-centered findings, this book highlights the coaching practices that have the greatest impact-collaborative PLCs, meaningful feedback, peer observations, reflective dialogue, and supportive coaching cycles that elevate teachers rather than judge them.
More than a research study, this is a roadmap. School leaders, coaches, and educators will discover practical tools and insights they can use immediately to strengthen teaching, build a culture of growth, and reduce teacher turnover.
The Instructional Coaching Effect shows that when teachers feel supported, equipped, and empowered, they don't just stay-they thrive.
