  1. Mathematics coaching differs significantly from mathematics teaching, and many coaches transi- tion to the role directly from teaching with limited opportunities to learn to work effectively with teachers. Although coach professional develop- ment can provide one source of support for coach- es’ learning, coaches might also benefit from close work with other accomplished facilitators of teach- ers’ learning, such as district mathematics leaders. This study analyzed interviews with 15 district mathematics leaders to understand whether and how they supported school-based mathematics coaches. We found 13 of 15 leaders worked closely with coaches to support them, and we identified seven ways they did so (e.g., classroom visits with coaches). Our findings have significance for re- search on district leadership and district leaders’ support for coaches.
