A 90-Day Plan for Coaching New Teachers

Effective and practical coaching strategies for new educators plus valuable online coaching tools

Many teachers are only observed one or two times per year on average--and, even among those who are observed, scarcely any are given feedback as to how they could improve. The bottom line is clear: teachers do not need to be evaluated so much as they need to be developed and coached.

In Get Better Faster: A 90-Day Plan for Coaching New Teachers, Paul Bambrick-Santoyo shares instructive tools of how school leaders can effectively guide new teachers to success. Over the course of the book, he breaks down the most critical actions leaders and teachers must take to achieve exemplary results. Designed for coaches as well as beginning teachers, Get Better Faster is an integral coaching tool for any school leader eager to help their teachers succeed.

Get Better Faster focuses on what's practical and actionable which makes the book's approach to coaching so effective. By practicing the concrete actions and micro-skills listed in Get Better Faster, teachers will markedly improve their ability to lead a class, producing a steady chain reaction of future teaching success.

Though focused heavily on the first 90 days of teacher development, it's possible to implement this work at any time. Junior and experienced teachers alike can benefit from the guidance of Get Better Faster while at the same time closing existing instructional gaps.

Featuring valuable and practical online training tools available at http://www.wiley.com/go/getbetterfaster, Get Better Faster provides agendas, presentation slides, a coach's guide, handouts, planning templates, and 35 video clips of real teachers at work to help other educators apply the lessons learned in their own classrooms.

Get Better Faster will teach you:

 * The core principles of coaching: Go Granular; Plan, Practice, Follow Up, Repeat; Make Feedback More Frequent
 * Top action steps to launch a teacher's development in an easy-to-read scope and sequence guide

It also walks you through the four phases of skill building:

 * Phase 1 (Pre-Teaching): Dress Rehearsal
 * Phase 2: Instant Immersion
 * Phase 3: Getting into Gear
 * Phase 4: The Power of Discourse


Perfect for new educators and those who supervise them, Get Better Faster will also earn a place in the libraries of veteran teachers and school administrators seeking a one-stop coaching resource.

You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity,

God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.

Evangelism the Way You Were Born to Do It

You were born for this. 

God hardwired you--yes, you--for this. 



I'm talking about sharing Jesus with others.



What if I told you evangelism is less about delivering a polished presentation and more about having a real conversation? 

What if I told you that God has created you to bring glory to himself by sharing Jesus with others, and that you don't need years of training to obey what he already made you to do?



God created you for his glory to advance his gospel with the gifts, talents, and opportunities he gave you. You live at this time in history for a purpose bigger than yourself. In these pages you will read how to connect the gospel story with your story, and how to talk about that story in normal conversations with people you know. 

No gimmicks.

Nothing clever.

No need to freak out.

Just you, Jesus, and others--in conversations that matter.

Making Your Words Matter





Popular author, speaker, and blogger, Annie Downs challenges teen girls to become a generation who use their words to positively influence those around them.

Every day, God gives teens the opportunity to use their words in powerful ways. In this entertaining yet thought-provoking book, author Annie Downs challenges teen girls to end the mean girl mentality and become a generation that uses their words to build up, not tear down. Through examples from her own life, both positive and negative, as well as truths found in Scripture, Downs looks at the difference a new verbal perspective can make when teen girls speak to friends, God, and even themselves.

Speak Love, ideal for girls ages 14 and up who are dealing with harsh words or are looking to change the way they speak to others, has both CBA and ABA appeal. Young women ages 18-25 and mothers of teenagers will also find this book a valuable resource.
