  1. ‘Better Together’ Exploring strategies for establishing an effective and sustainable peer-coaching process for students in higher education Sally Graham, Lynn Bhania & Kathy Weston

  2. Our beliefs…potential of collaborative learning/ power of conversation/ relational processes / personal leadership

  3. Why Peer-coaching? ‘Coaching is unlocking a person’s potential to maximise their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them.’ Whitmore (2002:8)

  4. What if I don’t know how to deal with the children? Students… Will we receive extra support if we need it? Will I cope? Will they like me? What will I gain? Will I be any good? Where do I start?

  10. The Power of Conversation • A sense of being listened to and of listening to others; • An atmosphere of trust and openness; • A liberty in expressing thoughts and feelings; • A sense of what is happening has some importance and value; • Affirmation of our self-value and the value of others; • Knowing that something is different as a result; • The development of shared meanings and understandings; • A sense of equality between participants.’ Lewis, S, Passmore, J & Cantori, S (2011: 73)
