Area of Science:

  • Health Education
  • Educational Psychology
  • Program Implementation Science

Background:

  • Effective health programs require robust implementation and maintenance for student benefit.
  • Peer coaching is a post-inservice professional development strategy to support health educators.
  • Existing peer coaching programs lack theoretical grounding, comprehensive evaluation, and systematic application in health education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address teacher needs during health program implementation trials.
  • To review features of effective peer coaching programs.
  • To propose a model for planning, evaluating, and researching peer coaching in health education.

Main Methods:

  • Developing a model incorporating classroom assessments, coaching team cluster meetings, and administrative support.

    • Peer coaching positively influences teacher behavior and student outcomes.
    • The model provides a framework for systematic application and evaluation.

    Conclusions:

    • A theoretically derived peer coaching model can strengthen health program implementation and maintenance.
    • Key components include assessments, team collaboration, and administrative backing.
    • Future research should evaluate this model's impact on educators and students.
