For educators in any role, who work with any level/ population.
Educators Capacity-Building Peer Coaching is based on the inviting educator’s practice and interests, it is voluntary, collaborative, inquiry is involved, and participants have ongoing, built-in support.
With Educators Capacity-Building Peer Coaching, the inviting educator chooses an item related to their practice they would like to enhance or add.The coach and inviting educator reflect, brainstorm, and connect to appropriate resources.The inviting educator makes final decisions as to what they will try and how progress will be determined.
The inviting educator and coach switch roles.
The focus could be solely on the inviting educator’s individual practice, follow-up to a workshop, or follow-up to a peer discussion about a book or topic. Peer coaching with this framework is empowering. Participants say they learn equally from being coached and being the coach.
Administrative records are not kept of what the inviting educator wants to enhance or add and the results. A commendation for the coaching volunteers could be noted in personnel files.
Students benefit from stronger teaching practices; and an enhanced culture of inquiry and collaboration.
The workshop models what is presents.
