Table 1 Practices coach developers can draw on to build expertise in their role
| Practices and ideas | Description |
|---|---|
| 20. Problem-based learning (PBL) | An approach to learning that dissects an authentic ‘problem’. Connects well to adult learning since it uses real world coaching issues and supports learners’ motivations. The teacher becomes a facilitator. |
| 21. Flipped learning | Learners research a topic and bring the information to a session. Flipped learning engages people in tasks earlier in the learning process and passes to them some responsibility for their own learning. |
| 22. Instruction | A widely misunderstood teaching skill. Used well ‘direct instruction’ is an effective means of supporting learning, particularly when learning new content. |
| 23. Shared vocabulary | The process of helping coach developers acquire and construct a shared vocabulary of terms related to learning and development. |
