This teacher resource describes an extended professional learning program implemented in 38 Victorian independent schools using evidence-based observations (EBO) as the basis for in-school teacher coaching to improve students' literacy and numeracy. Organised in nine sections: Summary; Target student group; Method; Results; Lessons learned; Next steps; Research base; Further reading and links; and Contacts, the resource explains how the coaching cycle worked, describing the method used to observe teacher practice and student engagement. It provides data about teachers' and students' positive responses to the program and increased student learning in literacy and numeracy.
