Whether you are new to instructional coaching or have been at it for years, you will L-O-V-E this Coaching Styles Quiz! One very real challenge of being an instructional coach is that you have to anticipate and respond to the varying needs of teachers. While some just need to be asked the right question, others need more direction and guidance.
 
Some coaches are more naturally suited to knowing just the right question that springboards a teacher's thinking while other coaches are extra-talented at seeing what needs to be done and giving the teacher clear action steps to follow.
