What is Peer Coaching?
Peer Coaching is becoming a more popular alternative to other forms of professional learning when it comes to helping teachers integrate ICTs in their lessons.
Peer Coaching can be -
- centred around the needs of the student
- linked with powerful integration of ICT
- aligned with the goals and values of the school strategic plan
- onsite and close to the classroom
- ongoing with timely support for the teacher
- collaborative in nature
- reflective and self assessing
- effective and transferable to classroom practice
The above cycle is from - The Peer Coaching Program

Hi Coaches,
I just registered today. Got my start at a CORE Conference in San Francisco several years ago. The Ontario Ministry of Education is looking to develop the literacy coaching model. I am a coordinator for a pilot project with my school board.
I will return for occasional visits.
