Abstract


A teacher is a professional educator whose main duties are to educate, teach, guide, direct, train, assess, and evaluate students. Therefore, the role of a teacher is no longer limited to delivering lesson material, but also extends to being a facilitator, mentor, and motivator for students. One approach that is increasingly relevant and needed today is coaching. The TIRTA Model (Ask, Identify, Plan, Follow-up, and Affirm) is a coaching approach developed to support teachers in reflecting on and improving their teaching practices. The activities included training, mentoring, and direct peer coaching practice among teachers. The purpose of this study is to improve teacher competency through the practice of the TIRTA coaching model at SMP Negeri 46 Batam. This study was conducted from September to October 2025 and involved 12 teachers from elementary and junior high schools on Bulang Kebam Island, Batam City, Riau Islands. The partner involved in this study was the Batam City Education Office. The results showed an improvement in teachers’ abilities to reflect on learning, engage in empathetic communication, and develop lesson improvement plans based on coaching outcomes. This activity is expected to be the first step in building a coaching culture in schools, thereby creating a collaborative and sustainable learning ecosystem.
