Peer coaching Side-by-side coaching cycles (Planning, Enacting a Lesson/Part of a Lesson, Debriefing) Team/collaborative planning Co-Teaching and Demonstration Lessons Analyzing student data to inform instruction through collaborative team structures (PLCs) Assessment Action research projects Facilitating/participating in professional learning and Coaches meetingsEffective professional learning is job-embedded within a safe, positive environment and built through trusting relationships. An effective coach works collaboratively with teachers, principals, and directors to support the school and its educational objectives.
