Abstract

This study examines the role of instructional coaching and mentorship in the professional development of teachers and curriculum implementation through a systematic literature review (SLR). The findings indicate that instructional coaching has a significantly positive impact on teachers' professional growth, enhancing their confidence and openness to feedback. Effective strategies include classroom observation, structured feedback, and supportive communication between coaches and teachers. Challenges faced include teachers' resistance to feedback and the need for support from school leadership. This research emphasises the importance of collaboration among coaches, teachers, and school leaders to create an effective and sustainable learning environment. Instructional coaching and mentorship are recommended as essential investments for improving the quality of education and student learning outcomes.
