Thank You for Being a Peer (Coach) – Peer Coaching in the Classroom

Keywords: Peer coaching, feedback, developmental work relationships

Abstract: Peer coaching is necessary for continuous development in rapidly changing work contexts. In this session, we describe two courses where we integrated peer coaching throughout the semester. We begin with introductions and a background on peer coaching, followed by a peer coaching preparation activity. We then outline peer coaching in the two courses. We conclude with further discussion and a final peer coaching activity. By the conclusion of this session, participants will understand the importance of peer coaching and be able to implement peer coaching into their classrooms.
