Traditional SMART goals in educational coaching often fall short because they focus on what teachers do rather than what students learn. 


Jim Knight and Jessica Wise explore a different approach: the PEERS framework—goals that are Powerful, Easy, Emotionally Compelling, Reachable, and Student-Focused. 


This conversation examines why coaching must be adaptive, why genuine commitment matters more than compliance, and what 30 years of instructional coaching research reveals about effective practice.
