Collegial Coaching in a Special School

Fifteen staff at Bundaberg Special School became Collegial Coaches recently.  This means that they undertook two days of workshops where they learned and practised the skills of coaching.  This was followed up by in-class practice where they both received and gave Type A feedback to each other in the 'real world' of the classroom.

Jackie commented that she now had a heightened awareness of her role in the learning process, something she hadn’t thought of before. All the little things are significant in the process - not separate but important in the learning process.
