I just returned from the National Literacy Coaching Summit at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. It was co-sponsored by the Literacy Coaching Clearinghouse and the University and it was a terrific conference. A few highlights:
- In her keynote, Nancy Shanklin shared the latest research in literacy coaching. If you are interested in some recent studies, visit the clearinghouse website at www.literacycoachingonline.org.
- Rita Bean shared some considerations for coaching in her luncheon keynote.
- Many other thoughtful educators shared their work in the field, K-12.
- I presented on student-centered coaching.
It was a terrific conference that specifically targeted coaches. I plan to attend again and would encourage anyone involved in coaching to consider it as well.

I am working on an action research project for my graduate class regarding literacy coaching. Are you aware of any research on how literacy coaching has impacted student achievement - any studies that have been completed, etc. I would appreciate any help that you could give me.
