Close to two decades ago, when I was writing Instructional Coaching, Blended Coaching was a pioneering book that I turned to again and again to help me clarify what coaching is and what coaches do. Now, Gary Bloom and his colleagues have written a second edition, updated to include the most recent writing on coaching, and, like the first edition, this book is a goldmine for coaches or leaders taking a coaching approach. Although the book is designed for administrators, Blended Coaching has valuable information for anyone interested in leading change. Jim Knight, Author and Senior Partner 20230214
