Résumé
Coaching can help teachers make shifts in their teaching practice that may enhance student learning, yet little is known about efforts to prepare coaches to support teachers in making such shifts. We examined an approach to the professional development of coaches we call meta-coaching, in which an experienced coach supported coaches’ learning. We analyzed interviews with a meta-coach and three coaches. Analysis reveals that the meta-coach focused on supporting the coaches to: 1) push teachers to shift their teaching practice, 2) use multiple data sources in lesson debriefs to broach specific topics for discussion, and 3) improvise during lesson debriefs in response to which topics did or did not come up. The coaches, on the other hand, focused on other aspects of their practice (e.g., being responsive to teachers’ needs) and described a divergence between their coaching style and that of the meta-coach. We discuss implications and propose future research directions.
