At Coleridge, we feel passionately about the impact Instructional coaching can have on our practice. We have fostered a coaching approach due to the impact it had on our phonics practice and also to ensure that all our teachers have access to high-quality CPD. We were conscious that the new ECF is steeped in research and as Klassen and Chiu suggests, Teacher development is not a linear process it is a lot more complex and experience is one factor (Klassen & Chiu 2010) but there are many other things at play as well as experience.
