Teacher Perceptions on the Effectiveness of Instructional Coaching
There is an increasing need for professional development that meets the needs of teachers in today’s teaching environment. Many schools and districts are beginning to see instructional coaching as a way to provide embedded professional development for teachers that increases teacher engagement and learning outcomes for students. This study aims to understand the perceptions that teachers have of instructional coaching, framed around teacher descriptions of their perceptions of the interactions with a coach, their engagement with a coach, and the impact of instructional coaching on their instructional pedagogy. Results indicate that teachers have a positive perception of instructional coaching, and that through engaging in the process, teachers perceive that developing trust and building relationships, receiving strong communication and support alongside a personalized approach and the opportunity for teachers to build confidence in their craft impacts both student-centered growth and teachers’ commitment to continuous growth

A Communication Ethic of Dialogic Reformation
Calls for reformation were widespread across the medieval Roman Catholic Church, but few were as nuanced or philosophically rich as the lifelong work of Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa (1401–1464). Cusa centralized the coincidentia oppositorum, the coincidence of opposites, in our knowledge of God and the mystical institution of the Church. In his book, Michael R. Kearney traces Cusa\u27s historical impact on philosophy of communication and communication ethics with an eye toward the health of institutions in a postmodern moment of cynicism and decline. Cusa loved the church and fought passionately for its reform, energized by the clouded vision of a God who is beyond opposites. This champion of dialogic reformation offers churches and communities an unfinished task with a unity of contraries at its heart: upholding local narrative ground with tenacious loyalty while working in an increasingly large world.https://digitalcollections.dordt.edu/books/1074/thumbnail.jp
