Survey Sheds Light on the State of Coaching
Foster, Elizabeth
Learning Professional, v41 n1 p14-16 Feb 2020
Coaching is a popular and promising form of professional learning, with research evidence of its effectiveness for teachers and students. Surprisingly little is known, however, about the current landscape of coaching. To close this knowledge gap, Learning Forward recently partnered with Digital Promise to survey more than 1,000 U.S. educators about their experiences with coaching. Overall, 83% of respondents reported being engaged in coaching in a school or district, either in a coaching capacity or as a coachee. The majority of respondents in the analysis are coaches, followed by administrators, educators, and "other," which included curriculum coordinators, instructional specialists, and special education support staff. This article discusses findings regarding the following: (1) coaches' workloads; (2) frequency and duration; (3) funding; (4) satisfaction with coaching; and (5) coaches' professional learning. Overall, the results present a mixed picture of how well respondents' coaching experiences align with the Standards for Professional Learning.
