Reviews
As head of department at a secondary school, this coaching model is invaluable in supporting staff and for reflecting and developing their practice. Publication of the model will enable many teachers to work collaboratively on the challenges of the classroom.--Helen Stevens, head of science, secondary school, Colchester, Essex The most important aspect of this peer coaching model is that you recognize in yourself the progress you are making. Using the scaling process, as described in the model, and talking about it with a colleague, helps one to recognize that success. It kick-starts the process and leads to more in-depth thinking.--Emma Johnston, lead primary teacher (early years), Kelvedon, Essex The Art of Peer Coaching is written in a very clear yet scholarly way. It is logical and follows an orderly sequence. It uses references but is not overwhelming and so creates a good balance of theoretical and practical aspects. The layout is very good which helps with clarity. It is broken into sizes you can use, dip in and out, and you will not be daunted by it.--Nina Balloch, senior primary teacher (elementary), Chelmsford, Essex
This book would be a wonderful tool for teachers who have areas in their teaching that they wish to improve--and we all have areas in which we can do better! In a non-threatening, interactive way, two teachers can collaborate and help each other find solutions to correct their shortcomings, taking turns as coach and coachee. The process is very specific and concrete, data-driven but flexible. This process would be adaptable to other professions as well.--Judy Randolph, a private math tutor and retired teacher As head of department at a secondary school, this coaching model is invaluable in supporting staff and for reflecting and developing their practice.
