Live Teacher Coaching on ITV News
Teachers at Duffryn High School in South Wales have been using IRIS Connect to improve teaching and learning through live coaching, peer lesson observation and self-reflection.
With the in-ear remote coaching facility, teachers receive live feedback from their mentor during the lesson and are able to see immediate impact on teaching and learning within context.
Experiential learning in action has helped teachers improve their practice and gain confidence. The school was recently praised due to the majority of it’s lessons being judged good or excellent by education watchdog Estyn. ITV News recently reported on the schools innovative approach to teacher professional development and live coaching.
“I think it’s very supportive, having someone talking to you through an earpiece as the lesson goes on – and also very natural in terms of an observation.”
Lauren Sharpe, Duffryn High School
