Abstract Excellence in teaching is a standard to which educators aspire. The developmental nature of effective teaching strategies implies the need to provide ongoing and continual support for junior level faculty. Showers (1985) described coaching as a process that involves assistance in learning. Therefore, coaching involves assistance without judgment. Through case study illustration, the coaching process framework will be examined within the context of a university instructor desiring to enhance teaching performance.

The authors consider students enrolled in higher education to fall into this category.
