Despite widespread adoption of coaching models of professional learning, how to support coaches’ abilities to enhance teachers’ effectiveness is relatively unexplored (Gallucci et al., 2010; Ortmann & Roehrig, 2019).
This multi-year research program examined the role of educational coaches and identified how to support them in their roles as peer mentors and professional learning facilitators.
This timeline is a visual of the coaching research projects that were part of this four-year program and their duration within it.
