I am writing a series of books based on the character Rick Midwinter, who first appeared in the two short stories, "The Educator's Apprentice" and "The Educators' Agreement".
I wrote "Eight Teachers" in 2023, as a work of fiction, imagining teachers had read my previous "Steps to a Coaching Classroom" books. Whilst I was writing, it I wondered how many real teachers I could find. The three "Teachers who Coach" books were written in 2024. Most of the text in these books was written by the respective authors. I hold the copyrights.

These two books, written in 2022 and 2023, each have a story about what a coaching approach looks and sounds like in a variety of educational contexts. This was my first attempt at writing longer stories.
This work is fictional, based on my lived experience of giving talks to college students and coaching teachers during 2018-2022.
The main character Rick Midwinter is now the focus of a new series of books due for publication in 2025.

These two books, written in 2023 and 2024, are based on the original "Six Steps to a Coaching Classroom" that I wrote in 2014. They contain articles and short stories about what a coaching approach looks and sounds like in a variety of educational contexts. They are in a way 'Coaching Cook Books'.

I wrote these three books during the summer of 2020, when I was beginning to think I was running out of time because I had developed a serious hart condition and needed urgent surgery. I wanted to show that change can come in surprising ways.

I realised early oo that bringing change of any kind to an all-encompassing system like the Education System, was going to take a long time. I wrote the first book in 2017, the second in 2021 and I am going to write the last one in 2028, at which time I will be 72 years young and will have successfully passed the torch to the next generation.
