Eight More Teachers: Narrative explorations of classroom coaching and its human, messy journey

Key takeaways

• The work gathers eight fictional educator profiles to examine coaching as a lived, evolving process rather than a fixed toolkit, highlighting that teachers often stumble, question assumptions, and must learn to trust students and the learning process.

• A central theme is the gap between what teachers know and how they show up in the classroom; effective coaching requires relinquishing control, embracing silence, humility, curiosity, and clear boundaries to support growth.

• The text advocates a redefined professionalism centered on presence, reflective practice, and relational facilitation—viewing coaching as expanding a teacher’s role to cultivate growth for both students and educators.
