Peer Coaching for Educators

By Barbara L. Gottesman

Book Overview

Can teachers, principals, and professors lead their students toward profound learning until they have been there themselves? Peer coaching offers a remarkable vehicle to join with students as learners and together build a community of learners. Peer coaching is a powerful process whereby professional educators can assist and be assisted by fellow educators of equal status, and this volume presents it all with clarity, economy, honesty, and conviction. This volume will be of interest and value not only to classroom teachers and school administrators, but also to central office personnel, and university faculty committed to promoting adult development within the schools.

Peer Coaching for Educators is a Practical Solution

The second edition of Peer Coaching for Educators still contains the basic guidelines and transparency masters for setting up a peer coaching program in a school, department or student teaching program. The simple five step process can be transferred to active practice with rules, checklists, sample scripts, and suggestions for feedback and coaching. The new comparisons with teacher evaluation and peer review teams will be valuable to administrators and district officers. Best of all, this model of peer coaching can be used for peers who are teachers, peer who are administrators, and peers who are staff development trainers.
