“This book is the missing piece! As a previous instructional coach myself, I had many resources for engaging adult learners in critical conversations for professional growth, but found the daily job responsibilities and line between working with teachers and administrators elusive. Nicole S. Turner’s book brings clarity through her practical applications from lived coaching experience, outlining the planning ‘nuts and bolts’ and mitigating potential pitfalls—exactly what new instructional coaches need to begin with less frustration and more immediate success!”

“Through a question-and-answer format, Nicole provides easy-to-read, research-based advice on the foundational components that will help instructional coaches find success in their roles. It is evident that her practical advice stems from her rich experience and her passion as an instructional coach. This will be a valuable go-to guide for coaches for years to come.”

“While coaching is never simple, Nicole Turner assists new and experienced coaches to make it seem so. Filled with valuable guidance and practical tools to use during coaching and reflection on coaching, Simply Instructional Coaching offers coaches the foundational information that will support their success. It is organized around a series of topics that coaches most often have questions about, shares information to facilitate exploring the multiple dimensions of each topic, and prompts readers to formulate their own responses to those questions.”
