Jim Knight on Radical Learning

Jim Knight, president of the Instructional Coaching Group, has spent more than a decade studying instructional coaching. He’s changed the way teachers teach, and significantly improved the way students learn. In this conversation, Jim and I discuss: Why simplicity is the key to going viral and spreading ideas. Which “this is broken” moment changed Jim’s approach to teaching. The importance of “selective incompetence.” How instructional coaching positions the teacher as a partner. The key principles of partnership, and the difference between “dialogical coaching” and “facilitative coaching.” RESOURCES Visit Jim’s website at instructionalcoaching.com.
