Raising the Bar: Using Coaching Conversations to Address Issues of Low Expectations for Students in Urban Settings
Educational Forum, v81 n4 p377-390 2017
Two instructional coaches explore the effectiveness of targeted coaching conversations to address teachers' perceptions of their students' capacities. In this study, the researchers focus on how specific questions can promote teachers' metacognition of underlying biases held toward their students. Researchers also explore the implications for curricular practices when teachers are prompted to address conceptions of ability.
