The Nexus Between Faculty Learning Communities and Peer Coaching: Potentially Powerful Implementation Partners,
Faculty Learning Communities Communities of Practice that Support, Inspire, Engage and Transform Higher Education Classrooms
(2024)
Abstract
Faculty Learning Communities focused on instructional practice have the potential to impact both faculty and student engagement and learning in significant ways. When coupled with peer coaching, faculty learning communities can accelerate changes to instructional practices within the classroom setting in ways that FLCs alone may not be able to achieve. Scaffolded peer coaching can increase the success of the implementation of new and highly effective evidence-based teaching practices, learned in the FLC, with the encouragement and support of a trusted colleague. In this chapter we describe the ways in which peer coaching can be added to FLCs in order to accelerate and support instructional transformation.
