Abstract
This case provides opportunities for school leaders, including coaches, to examine ways to lead learning and build teacher capacity. Told from the perspective of a newly hired elementary instructional coach in a suburban district experiencing rapid growth, the intent of this case study is to explore how leaders and coaches can work together to develop collaborative learning experiences that cultivate reflection and professional growth among all teachers. In addition, school leaders using this case should examine the conditions and resources necessary to build strong professional communities that maximize student learning.
