This is a 5 stage CPD coaching model for teachers. 5 stage model.pdf
Stage 1
Consists of an initial meeting, where the coach will establish the experiences that the E-teacher has had using ICT in their teaching and where they want to be using ICT in their future teaching.
The coach should arrange an observation with the E-teacher at this stage. This will allow the coach to evaluate the self assessment of the teacher.
Stage 2
The e-teacher needs to highlight the strengths and challenges that they have with regard to using ICT within their teaching so far. (This can be covered in the areas of challenge and build on their strengths highlighted in the initial meeting)
The E-teacher needs to produce an action plan that will target the challenges highlighted in the first meeting.
Stage 3
Second meeting, the coach should review the action plan produced, using their observations of the E-teachers lesson to dovetail the action plan.
The Coach may need to arrange:-
1.CPD session that will allow the E-teacher to meet a challenge highlighted.
2.Lesson Planning support.
3.Team teaching support.
4.Creation of Resource materials Support.
Stage 4
The third meeting should be to review the action plan, this may require a second observation, review of the team teaching, or evaluation of resources produced.
The E-teacher needs to be critical and reflective of their achievements and future challenges they face.
The coach may recommend at this stage that further CPD or support maybe required.
Stage 5
The Support should not stop with the final meeting, follow up conversation or electronic support should continue until both the coach and the E-teacher feels that they have enough skills to continue to develop as an e-teacher.
This is a coaching model that I have developed from my teaching and experience with CPD of teachers ICT skills.
This is not a stand alone model and group CPD sessions are still and essential part of the e-teachers CPD. What individual coaching offers it personalised CPD to target an e-teachers specific teaching needs.
