Peer Coaching by Hakan Aydin https://padlet.com/haydin/vogdhnq9kipn What is peer coaching and what is important while doing it en-us 2016-10-27 19:50:09 UTC 2025-11-04 01:20:33 UTC hello@padlet.com haydin https://padlet.com/haydin/vogdhnq9kipn/wish/133760460 When you have the same level of proficiency for the colleagues, you may share your skills and experience on a specific topic. The group has to be well-organized and the members should work on the same subject. When many people meet regularly for their similar subjects, we can talk about different types of peer coaching. ]]> 2016-10-27 19:54:32 UTC https://padlet.com/haydin/vogdhnq9kipn/wish/133760460 They can do this in personal supervision like challenges in self-exploration, culture, some solutions to interventions, and dilemmas in work area. As a department chair I implemented peer coaching and I can say it was beneficial to both of us. I can scale my experience with at least 8 out of 10. Peer coaching helps especially the new teachers not feeling isolation and learning a lot. haydin https://padlet.com/haydin/vogdhnq9kipn/wish/133760611 2016-10-27 19:55:15 UTC https://padlet.com/haydin/vogdhnq9kipn/wish/133760611 Especially math is difficult to a lot of people and new teachers may feel they cannot succeed to teach. I believe that when a more experienced teacher wants to peer coaching, he/she should come together with the other teachers and brainstorm on lesson plans, classroom management and other items. This means peer coaching should target to increase amount and quality of learning. haydin https://padlet.com/haydin/vogdhnq9kipn/wish/133760921 2016-10-27 19:56:54 UTC https://padlet.com/haydin/vogdhnq9kipn/wish/133760921 Having met with the other teachers, the person who is doing the peer coaching should also watch the other teacher while teaching. This observation is very valuable for the new teacher. After the observation, they have to meet one more time to discuss about his opinions with the observed teacher and give some suggestions haydin https://padlet.com/haydin/vogdhnq9kipn/wish/133761047 2016-10-27 19:57:32 UTC https://padlet.com/haydin/vogdhnq9kipn/wish/133761047 This feedback should be made in a positive manner in order not to make the other person upset. Since we are humans, we have feelings and cannot live like robots. When somebody makes a very negative comment about us, we mostly heel frustrated and this decreases our enthusiasm. haydin https://padlet.com/haydin/vogdhnq9kipn/wish/133761126 2016-10-27 19:57:51 UTC https://padlet.com/haydin/vogdhnq9kipn/wish/133761126 References: Glickman, C.
