A Teachers’ Coaching Approach to Sustainable Professional Development
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The value of coaching teachers by professional coaches in their school context is recognized to provide them with sustainable professional development (SPD). However, little is known about the coaching process promoting SPD and the variables that can explain its quality. Three objectives were pursued: 1) to describe the quality of the coaching process; 2) to determine the characteristics of the coach, and 3) to identify the characteristics of the school context that can explain quality to promote SPD. An Embedded Multiple-Case Study Design was conducted at two different schools. Results describe that the quality of the coaching process was clear in its orientation to precise goals, its complexity, and its dynamism. The coaches’ characteristics that can explain the quality of the coaching process to promote SPD are their perceptions of the context and their conceptions. The most important characteristic of the context that can reveal the quality of coaching enacted is the leadership of the school principal and the teachers’ culture of collaboration.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
