Reviews of Teachers as Classroom Coaches
"I am so impressed by the detail of Teachers as Classroom Coaches. Andi Stix and Frank Hrbek have taken coaching to a new level for staff developers to help teachers and for teachers to help themselves. I certainly will be encouraging my colleagues to use their book. Andi has always had a gift for not only making theory real, but providing highly specific tasks, lessons, and strategies for carrying out best practice."

"Research has shown that coaching is one of the most powerful and effective developmental tools available to us. Andi Stix and her partner have created a brilliant map to bring coaching into the lives of young people and those who work with them. What could be better news than this? I will gladly recommend Teachers as Classroom Coaches to every educator client I work with."

"I jumped at the chance to read Teachers as Classroom Coaches because coaching and teaching certainly go hand in hand with one another. This easy-to-use guide offers the administration, faculty and student body enormous value by first understanding the essence of coaching and then, by implementing it in every day activities within the classroom and school environment. Teachers as Classroom Coaches makes coaching skills easily transferable from classroom to the faculty lounge and from the principal's office to the superintendent's office."

"The term 'creative' is usually associated with artists, composers, scientists, and writers, rarely with educators. Andi Stix is an exception, or at least she deserves to be regarded as a creative educator, judging from this highly innovative instructional plan and, indeed, from the kinds of work she has done throughout her professional career. Unlike the products of fine artists, composers, and writers, the ideas contained in Teachers as Classroom Coaches are meant to guide, instruct, and even inspire teachers into action rather than just to be admired by the senses. She has successfully put together a sequence of insights similar to what can be expected of creative scientists, in the sense that they are valuable only insofar as they are used, not merely appreciated."

"If you have nothing to look forward to, your life is boring. As a principal, I enjoy watching my students all work hard together to achieve a task, a common goal such as a debate, discussion, or simulation. In Teachers as Classroom Coaches, Dr. Andi Stix and Mr. Frank Hrbek offer strategies for competitive cooperation, which leads students to be highly motivated. These methods allow students to be highly engaged in their own learning, modeling the enthusiasm we have for living."
