Content-Focused Coaching: Five Key Practices (2016, background): “…where coaches (a) are more knowledgeable partners who have developed relatively accomplished instructional practices (Neufeld & Roper, 2003; Poglinco et al., 2003; West & Staub, 2003) and (b) aim to support teachers’ development of ambitious instructional practices in a particular discipline.”
Instructional Coaching as High-Quality Professional Development (2017, background): “Coaches often work together with teachers on lesson planning and assessing students (West & Staub, 2003), activities where the focus is on the content being taught and assessed.”
Does coaching, mentoring, and supervision matter for pre-service teachers’ planning skills and clarity of instruction? A meta-analysis of (quasi-)experimental studies (2021, background): “For instance, Content-Focused Coaching is a coaching approach in which the experienced coach (e.g., the CT) and the less experienced coachee (e.g., the PST) are engaged together in joint lesson planning and the coach provides content-specific feedback (Becker et al., 2019; West & Staub, 2003).”
Investigating the Effectiveness of a Comprehensive Literacy Coaching Program in Schools with High Teacher Mobility (2010, methodology): “The CFC program was originally developed for use in mathematics (West & Staub, 2003).”
Leadership for Literacy Coaching: The Principal’s Role in Launching a New Coaching Program (2009, methodology): “The program was originally developed for mathematics (West & Staub, 2003) but was adapted by fellows from the University of Pittsburgh’s Institute for Learning to support literacy instruction in elementary schools (Staub & Bickel, 2003; Staub, West, & Bickel, 2003).”
The Impact of Elementary Mathematics Coaches on Student Achievement (2011, background): “…during their first year of placement, they completed the second educational leadership course focused on coaching, accessing a variety of published references (e.g., Wood, Nelson, & Warfield, 2001) as well as accompanying video segments and cases (Miller, Moon, & Elko, 2000; West & Staub, 2003).”
A Look Inside Mathematics Coaching: Roles, Content, and Dynamics (2014, methodology): “Content-focused coaching (West & Staub, 2003) is a content-specific approach with emphasis on students’ learning of a particular subject, and teachers’ plans, strategies, and methods are discussed in that context.”
Developing Adaptive Teaching Competency through Coaching. (2009, methodology): “Content-focused coaching (West & Staub, 2003) is effective for fostering Adaptive Planning Competency and is also linked with higher student learning outcome.”
