“…One specific type of coaching with great potential to reduce the research-to-practice gap is peer coaching, which is defined as teachers observing one another and providing reciprocal feedback with the goal of enhancing instruction (Scheeler, Congdon, & Stansbery, 2010). Peer coaching has benefits over other types of coaching, such as assisting teachers in overcoming barriers associated with assignments in their respective professional roles, being contextually relevant, and receiving feedback from someone with whom teachers have rapport and a positive relationship (Fry & Hin, 2006; Scheeler et al, 2010). Importantly, peer coaching has positively affected teachers’ content knowledge, problem-solving skills, teaching techniques, and self-efficacy (e.g., Jang, 2010; Latz, Speirs Neumeister, Adams, & Pierce, 2009; Slater & Simmons, 2001).…”
