Reviews From The Field
“Lindsay and Angela are rockstars. They lift instructional coaches, celebrate our successes, and remind us to imbibe ourself grace so that we can grow in our goals as professionals.”
Elementary Instructional Coach
“This was one of the most energizing professional learning experiences of my career. The organization of our time together was well planned and responsive to our needs. Our group was encouraged to share their thinking and probe ideas as well. Being with them helped me think more critically and strategically about this work.”
District-Based Coach
“They were so knowledgeable personable, and warm. They spoke beautifully from the heart and I know all educators will find comfort in their words and suggestions. Thank you for being such a powerful force in instructional coaching, as well as teaching and beyond!”

Get Your Guide
“Lindsay Deacon and Angela Scotto Harkness have done all educators a great service by putting together this collection of ‘essential strategies for surviving and adapting to the changing environment of schools.’ Literally, each of the scenarios of the guide addresses an issue that coaches have brought up to me, sometimes dozens of times, in the past. I’m convinced that anyone who works as a coach will find this book extremely useful.”
Dr. Jim Knight,
Author, Researcher, and Senior Partner of the Instructional Coaching Group
“While many of the works of other coaching experts lay excellent foundations for work, I find that many authors are far removed from the quirky, chaotic, and intense environments and situations that full-time instructional coaches experience. This book keeps it real about the things that happen, but often aren't discussed in other texts.”
