**What Is Peer Coaching?**
After spending four days with some extraordinary educators in a PCTI training, I have come to believe that peer coaching is collaboration between teachers made possible by setting aside time in a loosely structured environment for the explicit purpose of improving instruction.
 * Who needs to improve instruction? By using the word improve, the intention is not to suggest that current instruction or instructors are poor. It has been my experience that the finest educators are always seeking ways to improve instruction. Thus, teachers at all experience levels can improve and will benefit from Peer Coaching.
 * Improve what exactly? It is my belief that peer coaching can apply to all areas of the curriculum. In this peer coaching training technology is the focal point. Technology levels the playing-field between the more experienced, less tech-savvy teachers, and the less-experienced, more tech savvy teachers.

Sue Lorang, Jeannette Barreto, and I devised the following soundbyte for peer coaching:

//Peer Coaching is a process where individuals work with a mentor to collaborate in developing very dynamic lessons that incorportate technology to engage students and make their learning real-world applicable.//
