Coaching Conversations with Jim Knight

Sherry St. Clair


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m joined by Sherry St. Clair—an incredible instructional coach, author, and thought partner. Together, we dive into the heart of what great teaching looks like.


Sherry brings deep wisdom from her new book, Intentional Instructional Moves, and we talk about what really makes an impact in the classroom: strong classroom management, authentic student engagement, and meaningful assessment for learning. 


What stands out in Sherry's approach is how practical and intentional it is—from purposeful group work to clear, focused direct instruction to differentiation that actually works for real classrooms.


We also dig into why clarity, connection, and continuous feedback are so essential—not just for student success, but for building learning environments where both teachers and students thrive.


If you're a coach, a school leader, or a classroom teacher, you'll walk away from this conversation with real, usable strategies you can start trying tomorrow. Intentionality isn't just a theory—it’s a practice. And Sherry shows us how to do it well.


Thank you for being a part of our community.
