Abstract

Practice-based opportunities are provided throughout a teacher preparation program. During these opportunities, teachers demonstrate learned skills and strategies and receive performance feedback. Real-time feedback is delivered when the teaching behavior is occurring, allowing for more immediate and, typically, more targeted performance feedback. A technology-enabled practice for providing real-time feedback is bug-in-ear (BIE) coaching. This article provides a step-by-step guide for BIE coaching.
