Peer Coaching Scholarship and Practice

Join the College of Business and Management for an interactive session will review peer coaching. First, the definition, skills, and behaviors of peer coaching and its use in the business context will be examined. Next, a roadmap for peer coaching will be shared, including an overview of how instructors can implement a peer coaching initiative into their classroom. Following, breakout sessions will allow attendees to practice key coaching skills. Finally, participants will reflect on the pros and cons of peer coaching, and how it can be implemented in various classroom contexts in a large group discussion.
