Peer Coaching to Enrich Professional Practice

Peer Coaching to Enrich Professional Practice
Peer Coaching to Enrich Professional Practice, School Culture, and Student Learning

Author - Pam Robbins

How can educators work together more effectively to improve professional practice in a way that enhances student performance? The answer, says author Pam Robbins, involves combining collaborative activities and peer coaching – teachers supporting teachers. This book describes how any school can implement these proven practices and experience positive changes in teaching, school culture and learning.

Robbins explains how to develop a collaborative, learning-focused culture and build trust among colleagues; offers strategies for participating in difficult conversations that yield useful feedback; clarifies how to develop, sustain and evaluate peer coaching efforts; and showcases exemplary peer coaching practices used in real schools. She also includes coaching tools, scenarios, process guidelines and reflection questions that make it easier to transfer these ideas into any school setting.

Peer coaching offers a job-embedded learning strategy; it’s a valuable structure for supporting school-wide and district-wide priorities such as analysing data, improving instruction, integrating technology and implementing standards. In short, it creates an effective way to support the growth of every teacher and enrich learning processes in any school.
