The Instructional Coaching Group (ICG), led by Jim Knight and his colleagues, has been studying instructional coaching for more than two decades. The goal of that research and of the broader work of ICG is that every student receives excellent instruction, every day, in every class. Our research has helped us identify several factors that are essential for developing and sustaining a great coaching program. We help people in organizations learn and implement these factors, habits, and strategies through workshops, coaching, consulting, and other forms or support.
