Reviews
""This book should be used as THE guidebook for STEM coaches in schools and districts. I wish I had this resource when I started my STEM coach position five years ago. It accurately outlines and summarizes many lessons I learned on my own through trial and error. I am thankful that as I move forward, I will have this book to help guide me through the challenges and projects still to come."" -- Annie Marostica Ransom, Science Coach, University Preparation Charter School, CA
