- Cultures of Thinking in Action: 10 Mindsets to Transform our Teaching and Students' Learning by Ron Ritchhart is my current read and parallels many of the ideas we talked about in drawing on parallel practices as coaches.
- "Coaching IS Teaching" was the first post in my Parallel Practice series on It's About Making Space. It features my own context letter from a few years back. Listeners can search the "Parallel Practice" tag for more in the series.
When coaches, teachers, administrators, and families work hand in hand, it fosters a school atmosphere where everyone is inspired and every student is fully engaged in their learning journey.

Lesaux, PhD and Katie C. Carr, M.Ed. This episode focuses on Literacy Brief 6: Science of Reading: The Secondary Years. Literacy Brief 6 centers around how the Science of Reading underscores that literacy is for ideas and identities.
