 * Please Do Now (respond to this point by Jim Knight in the Coaches' Chat Room)**: //"...for teachers to abandon an old teaching practice to embrace a new one, coaches must offer a practice that is both more powerful and easier to use than the current strategy....Thus, one of a site-based coach's primary tasks is to do everything possible to make it easier for teachers to implement new teaching practices. Coaches highlight, simplify, and clarify practices described in teacher manuals, prepare materials, make copies or handouts if necessary, model in the teachers' classroom, observe teachers, and provide feedback.//"--Jim Knight, "5 Key Points to Building a Coaching Program" in NSDC's //Journal of Staff Development// 28(1), Winter 2007
