Teachers as Classroom Coaches: How to Motivate Students Across the Content Areas

Andi Stix and Frank Hrbek

About the Authors  |  Comments

About This Book

One of the hardest things for teachers to do is to inspire their students. In this groundbreaking book, authors Andi Stix and Frank Hrbek show teachers how to do just that by adapting proven coaching strategies in class.

Students in extracurricular activities often have coaches, yet it is students in the classroom who are most in need of the motivation and support that coaches provide. In Teachers as Classroom Coaches: How to Motivate Students Across the Content Areas, you’ll learn how to apply the same methods that professional coaches use to help students achieve more in all subjects and at all grade levels. These strategies, which have been used successfully in some of the most diverse classrooms in the country, can help to

  • Ensure harmonious group work,
  • Improve organizational and note-taking skills,
  • Overcome emotional and environmental roadblocks,
  • Resolve conflicts among students, and
  • Empower students by allowing them ownership of their work.

In addition to the coaching strategies, the book provides sample assessment forms, student-teacher dialogues, real-life examples of coaching in action, and a wealth of cross-curricular project ideas. Whether you teach elementary, middle, or high school, and no matter the content area, this book has everything you need to fire up students’ imaginations and get them engaged, inspired, and motivated to succeed.
