Secondary teachers benefit from ongoing coaching to support their implementation of evidence-based literacy practices across content areas. However, several factors may facilitate or impede literacy coaching at the secondary level. We conducted an exploratory survey study to investigate 141 middle school teachers' and 64 instructional coaches' experiences with and perceptions of literacy coaching. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses were used. Findings of the teacher survey revealed that, while most teachers had a literacy coach in their school, many did not receive coaching. In addition, many teachers identified the need for coaching related to providing literacy support to students with disabilities. Meanwhile, findings of the coach survey revealed that many instructional coaches do not provide literacy coaching. However, most coaches reported needing support related to incorporating literacy practices into various content areas. Practical implications and areas for future research related to secondary literacy coaching are discussed.
