Abstract
Communication technologies were accessed to offer online coaching to literacy teachers in six Caribbean countries. Expert coaches provided professional advice to teachers as they taught in public school classrooms. Using a mixed methods action research methodology, the efficacy of the coaching system was evaluated as a reasonable cost effect alternative to onsite visits. Field notes, surveys, interviews and focus groups were reviewed in an iterative fashion in order to offer thematic assessment and potential improvements to the system.
