Teachers in crisis contexts peer coaching pack
In crisis contexts, where many teachers are untrained or undertrained, continued support is needed most; yet professional development in these settings is sporadic, of varied quality and often lacks any follow up support post-training. To address this lack of quality professional support for teachers in crisis contexts, the Teachers in Crisis Contexts Reference Group (TiCC) published the Training for Primary School Teachers in Crisis Contexts training pack in March 2016, a competency-based training designed specifically for teachers working in emergency settings.
Following the publication of the training pack, the TiCC began work on complementary Peer Coaching materials. Peer Coaching is continuous professional development (CPD) led by teachers for teachers. The continuous support teachers are able to provide to one another through Peer Coaching helps teachers make sustained positive changes in their teaching practice. Peer Coaching provides this support through two main activities: 1) Teacher Learning Circles (TLCs), and 2) Classroom Observations.
The main components include: The Facilitator’s Guide; Peer Coaching Toolkit, Level 1 - TLCs only; and Peer Coaching Toolkit, Level 2 - TLCs plus classroom observations.
