SACRAMENTO, CA, September 9, 2025—SchoolStatus releases a free guide designed to help K-12 districts move beyond one-size-fits-all teacher coaching to personalized approaches that match support to individual educator needs.

K-12 Coaching: Personalized Support That Sticks addresses a common challenge facing instructional coaches: providing the same coaching protocols to teachers regardless of their experience level or specific growth areas. This guide presents frameworks for implementing adaptive coaching that differentiate support based on teacher career stages and development needs.

“Effective coaching recognizes that a first-year teacher struggling with classroom management needs different support than a 15-year veteran exploring advanced instructional techniques,” said Dr. Kara Stern, Director of Education at SchoolStatus. “This eBook provides practical strategies for making those distinctions and allocating coaching resources more effectively.”

Key resources in the guide include:

  • Coaching conversation starter templates customized for each career stage
  • Implementation frameworks for transitioning to adaptive coaching
  • Strategies for separating growth-focused coaching from evaluation
  • Tools for tracking coaching effectiveness across districts
  • Real-world examples of how to manage coaching at scale while maintaining personalized support

The guide identifies four teacher career stages, novice, emerging, established, and veteran, and outlines specific coaching approaches for each phase. It also includes strategies for adjusting coaching style, frequency, focus areas, and format based on individual teacher needs.
