Spokane Flavor of Peer Coaching Peer Coach Perspective: Teacher Quotes “Peer coaching has provided our department with the technology, the necessary trainingin how to use it, and a vision to train other teachers in the building.” “Peer Coaching has helped our department address the new technology standards embedded in our district's curriculum, as well as build our overall proficiency in the use of technology in the classroom.” “Peer coaching has changed the way we teach and how our students learn in the classroom. Our students’ depth of understanding has increased as well as the breadth of their knowledge base. Students present their learning using the SMART board, which leaves their parents in awe of their technological skills.”
