| Abstract: | Mathematics coaches represent a unique group of didacticians, or individuals who work with practicing teachers. Twenty-eight mathematics coaches participated in this exploratory study, which used video viewing to examine the coach-teacher dynamic. To gather data about participants' views of effective coaching practices, we developed the Video Assessment of Coaching instrument, which provided coaches with opportunities to express their views of effective practice and implementation. The participants expressed views of effective coaching that often did not align with those of coaching authors. The significance of this research lies in its efforts to document the views that mathematics coaches develop as practitioners, as an early step in the examination of the relationships between the views of coaches and coaches' effectiveness in improving teacher practice, knowledge, and attitudes.
