**A resource for instructional coaches for self reflection, growth, best practices, and professional development.** **The work of instructional coaches can become more efficient through the sharing of current readings and research. Besides helping coaches do their jobs more easily, the articles and readings can help coaches reflect more deeply on their work and come to new insights that enhance the quality of their efforts. The sharing of information from the readings can also foster communication with other coaches, administrators, or teachers themselves. Such communication can help everyone examine whether a school’s or district’s agreed-upon instructional goals are being met through the best possible means.**
