The impact of the first edition of Student-Centered Coaching: The Moves is clear - thousands of coaches and leaders have used this resource to implement Student-Centered Coaching as their framework for instructional coaching.

In this new edition, Diane Sweeney and Leanna S. Harris expand on the strategies that were shared in the first edition to ensure that K-12 instructional coaches are prepared to thrive.

Is teaching an art or a science? 🤔

It's a question educators have been wrestling with for decades - and in Larry Ferlazzo's latest EdWeek Classroom Q&A, Corwin authors Jennifer Serravallo and Joe Feldman bring two compelling perspectives to the table.

We think both are onto something. Read the full Q&A and tell us - where do you land?
