A voluntary peer-coaching program is described along with the accompanying cultural change that occurred at a suburban high school. Veteran teachers participating in this research reported that peer coaching gave them meaningfulfeedback, motivation to direct their learning, increased levels of trust and morale among themselves, and justification to do more work. Findings suggest that teachers became more active in designing professional learning experiences when they expected such activities would positively affect student learning.
