A Professional Learning Model~ Coaching ~
Few educational innovations achieve their full impact without a coaching component.Joyce and Showers (1988) found that only when the component of coaching was added was the innovation internalized, valued and transferred to the classroom.
Deprivatization enhances the intellectual capacities of teachers, which, in turn, produces greater intellectual achievements in students.
Coaching
Teacher coaching is a highly sophisticated form of school based professional reflective practice. It is a series of conversations designed to assist teachers to extend their personal and professional learning to improve student achievement.
(Julie Boyd, 2000)
