Abstract: Faculty in higher education have a variety of role expectations, including research, service and teaching. Often the training they receive during their education provides little towards helping them develop their pedagogical skills. Faculty peer coaching is a practice that holds promise for effectively providing professional development aimed at improving faculty teaching to better meet the needs of adult learners. This case study at a small regional university outlines a process for peer coaching and the resulting faculty perceptions of its effectiveness to enhance teaching and usefulness of the model as a professional development tool. We conclude faculty may perceive peer coaching as an effective and satisfying professional development opportunity in a higher education setting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
