The document outlines a proposed coaching system for teachers at CCC. It aims to enable all staff to access coaching to continually improve their teaching, regardless of role, experience, or performance level. Teachers choose a coach to work with on an identified aspect of practice. The coach and teacher then go through a cycle of observation, feedback, discussion, and re-observation. All staff are eligible to be coached or apply to be a coach. Coaches need expertise in teaching aspects, a proven teaching record, and willingness to devote time. The system will launch next term with coach applications and training.
