We examined the characteristics of video annotations frequently discussed during debriefing conversations as part of video-assisted coaching cycles. We also analyzed how mathematics coaches used written annotations to inject ideas into debriefing conversations when supporting teachers to reflect on important classroom events. Coaches and teachers…

The period of student teaching often creates crisis experiences in student teachers and can have various negative effects, but it also offers opportunities for deep learning. This study focused on the types of struggles student teachers encounter and on the effects of coaching aimed at the promotion of core reflection. Core reflection is an…

Traditionally, teacher candidate supervision models focus on evaluation rather than collaborative professional reflection. Through a university-district partnership, a new model was designed to disrupt this dynamic and draw on the expertise of practicing teachers to act as coaches. This case study describes the professional learning of novice…

Longitudinal academic advising (AA) and coaching programs are increasingly implemented in competency based medical education (CBME) to help residents reflect and act on the voluminous assessment data they receive. Documents created by residents for purposes of reflection are often used for a second, summative purpose--to help competence committees…

The need to make evidence and implications of educational research widely available has prompted a burgeoning interest in knowledge mobilisation, which is a set of strategies supporting the active and intentional dissemination of research knowledge. For this, it is important to consider who might be the intended audience and end-users of this…

Coaching literature assumes that people undergo personal change through coaching. We contend that different types of change may occur with coaching and investigate whether this is the case in reflection (a key competence in coaching). Results from our sample of 61 coachees indicate that three types of change (alpha, beta, gamma) are observed…

The six-phase model of cognitive apprenticeship (modelling, coaching, scaffolding, articulation, reflection and exploration) has been recognized as a useful and effective instructional method in educational research; however, only a few studies have investigated the structural relationships among the six phases at work. This study aimed to…

Adventure sports offer an exciting area of investigation regarding pedagogical best practices. Previous research points to the evolution of adventure sports coaching with the development and implementation of the PPTT (physical, psychological, technical, and tactical) framework. However, there is a missing area of consideration within the PPTT…

Background/Purpose: This study examines the use of the Interactive Growth Guide, a structured coaching tool, within a year-long high-intensity induction program for beginning teachers.

Reflective conversations between teachers and coaches are critical to helping teachers improve their classroom instruction. Coaches who encourage teachers to "see, think, and do" are better able to facilitate meaningful reflective conversations with teachers. The "See, Think, Do" framework consists of six steps (observe,…

Drawing on data collected from one coaching cycle during mathematics instruction for one coach-teacher dyad, this study explores one instructional coach's discursive enactment of their coaching stance. Qualitative analyses indicate that there was dissonance between the coach's stance for coaching and their discursive enactment of coaching, and…

Purpose: Employers increasingly require students to possess competences that go beyond theoretical knowledge and academic expertise, such as lifelong learning skills. To equip students with these competences, higher education institutes have introduced coaching as part of their teaching programs. The present study qualitatively evaluates a career…

Higher education plays a pivotal role in preparing students for the dynamic and complex labour market. Helping students develop employability competences supports them in obtaining the necessary expertise and skills to facilitate their transition to the labour market and to address the requirements of their new jobs. Employability competences are…

Professional practice evolves as individuals reflect and theorise about their experiences, and consider their practice in new ways. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how self-study can be used as an approach to interrogate the professional practice of a university advisor as they coach undergraduate students to develop meaningful resumes…
