Abstract

This paper examines the impact of a 5-week professional development programme (PDP) which has employed a multi-tiered mentoring and coaching approach embedded with Learning Study for the in-service school leaders and teachers in Hong Kong. Evidence from the reflective essays of the participants and scores of the Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) indicate the positive effect of the PDP on enhancing the learning and teaching effectiveness, fostering collaborative culture, and establishing a professional learning community in schools. The findings suggest that the multi-tiered mentoring and coaching approach to PDP facilitates reflective teaching practices and nurtures collegial sharing culture in schools. Direction for future investigation is recommended. Copyright © 2015 Center of Excellence.
