These peers make appointments after school with the teacher whether it’s because they didn’t understand a certain topic, for better study habits, review, etc. They are also in a study group and meet every so often with them to go over material that they don’t understand or to help others with it.

One implication is there is a gradual increase of responsibility for the teacher. Through courageous conversations teachers are having with collegial coaches and their peers, teachers are taking charge of their classrooms, and not waiting for the administrator or mentor to give advice. Teachers are answering open-ended question from coaches and peers and making self-reflections that are having positive impacts in their classrooms.

Teachers are coming out of their classrooms and meeting with other teachers and sharing strategies, and asking questions that have other teachers thinking about how to have more successful classroom experiences.
