Discovering New Horizons:
Leadership Coaching
for the 21st Century Principal
In Discovering New Horizons, Teachers21 collaborates with ATLAS Communities to provide a vision of school leadership that improves teaching and learning. The Teachers21 Model of Leadership Coaching creates a comprehensive road map that will:
- Provide a work-embedded professional development approach to grow the principal at all stages of the career span.
- Support the principal as a catalyst for improving professional culture, teaching, and learning.
- Help the principal to build the "coach within" to expand and sustain capacity for improving instructional leadership.
- Offer school- and district-level leaders a powerful strategy to strengthen their professional learning community.
- Nurture thoughtful habits-of-mind that help the principal to broaden his/her repertoire of school improvement strategies and approaches.
What people are saying about Discovering New Horizons:
Teachers21 shares a rich blueprint of leadership coaching, whereby school principals disclose themselves in no uncertain terms to the education community as serious committed learners. The "principal" learners!

This book breaks new ground with a cogent theoretical model for leadership coaching in schools. But more, it grounds its theory with case studies that show what good coaching really looks and sounds like. This is a first in the leadership literature. A must read!

The coaching model comes alive through a rich variety of snapshots in a wide range of educational settings. What a great learning tool for any principal. I enjoyed it all!
