Coaching is an increasingly popular and promising method of professional learning, but unfortunately, many teachers do not have access to high-quality coaching due to geographic and financial constraints. Technology offers an opportunity to increase access to coaching, especially for educators in isolated rural areas. Research shows video is useful in teacher education and professional learning to focus on moments of practice. Recognizing the potential of technology for coaching in the rural areas where they work, the authors of this article developed an online coaching model in a joint venture between the University of Rochester (New York) and the University of Idaho, with funding from the National Science Foundation. Their goal is to expand their online coaching program to reach more teachers in rural settings, as well as urban and suburban districts.
