Effective Teacher Coaching – Improving student outcomes in Mexico

In this project, we propose a pilot teacher-coaching program in the state of Sonora, in Mexico. The program would be implemented with lower secondary teachers in 50 of the country's "telesecundaria" and technical secondary schools (7-9th grade). We will collect data on program implementation through survey and interview of program participants (teachers and coaches). Classroom practice will be measured using the CLASS observation rubric. In addition, we will administer pre- and post-tests of general skills, as well as survey students for engagement and perceptions of teaching quality.
