摘要：Focused on remodelling instructional practices, the teacher coaching programme anticipates School Improvement Specialist Coaches (SISC+ or SIS Coach/es) to collaborate with teachers, to observe their teachings, to model best practices and to engage them in reflective thought-provoking discussions. As this is not a norm, teachers often receive the suggestion of coaching with mixed feelings. Research proves that the way teachers comprehend and react towards the coaching programme can be a hindrance to its projection. In this qualitative multiple-case study, we sought to understand better the factors that lead to teachers’ anxiety towards the coaching programme. Three SIS Coaches and nine teachers’ coaching experiences show that three factors led to teachers’ anxiety when they were initially approached to work with the SIS Coach in the coaching programme. Fear, a well-known enemy of progress and success, prompts constant misunderstandings of the job and accountabilities of an SIS Coach. Thus, recognising and following up on teachers’ reactions from the earliest starting point can advance the rest of the coaching nature.
