6 Practice-Based Coaching
Practice-Based Coaching is a cyclical process for supporting practitioners’ use of effective teaching practices that lead to positive outcomes for children. The coaching-cycle components are: planning goals and action steps, engaging in focused observation, and reflecting on and sharing feedback about teaching practices. Practice-Based Coaching occurs within the context of a collaborative partnership.

Local Programs use: Coaching Logs Action Plans Benchmarks of Quality Training survey data State Implementation Team uses: Survey data from PBC trainings & webinars Survey Feedback from PBC trainers Feedback from external coaches
