Coaching teachers works
Published research, not one of our clients.
The problem
Schools spend a great deal on one-off training days, but often see little change in the classroom.
What they did
Researchers combined 60 rigorous studies of teacher coaching, where an expert works with teachers over time, observes lessons and gives specific feedback.
The result
On average, coaching clearly improved teaching (0.49 of a standard deviation) and raised student achievement (0.18 of a standard deviation). Smaller, focused programmes showed the largest effects.
What this means for your school
Ongoing, personal coaching changes teaching far more than a single workshop. That is why our consulting includes classroom visits, feedback and follow-up.
