It is informative, practical, and multidisciplinary in its reach to identify the many models of coaching engagement to teacher development." --Lloyd Sain, Professional Certified Coach (PCC) & Former Director, Leadership & Teacher Development "As coordinator for an MAT program that uses virtual coaching in our internship course, I know first-hand how valuable real-time coaching can be to teacher candidates and novice teachers. We have also found that the benefits extend to the internship supervisor through the increased collaboration and communication with the intern. I am excited that my colleagues are sharing this book about our experiences with teacher candidates and practicing teachers in both face-to-face and virtual environments. This book will be a valuable resource for teacher educators, school administrators, and practicing teachers who are considering adopting a coaching model to improve teacher practices." --Amy Thompson, NBCT, MAT Program Coordinator, University of Central Arkansas
