Peer coaching as a Sustainable Source of Professional DevelopmentDesign powerful questions, practice GROW model, reframe limiting beliefs, and explore Dilt's neurological levels.
Erasmus+ course summary
Coaching is one of the most effective evidence-based teaching practice. Teachers use it not only as a tool for professional development during class observation activities, but also in their communication with students and parents. It empowers teachers, connects the teams and leads to better relationships. In the course on peer coaching the participants train their coaching skills by asking powerful questions and using GROW coaching model. They also work on limiting beliefs and reflect upon their teaching based on Dilts’s neurological levels. Beside practicing basic coaching skills the participants also become acquainted with a variety of coaching tools, such are drawings, coaching wheel and questionnaires. "Coaching is unlocking a person's potential to maximize their own performance. It's helping them to learn rather than teaching them." – Tim Gallway
