Coaching is a relationship-based process designed to build capacity for specific professional dispositions, skills, and evidence based practices. It is focused on goal setting and achievement for an individual or group. Areas of coaching could include:
- Effective Teaching Behaviors
- Conscious Discipline
- Curriculum (OWL, Creative Curriculum)
Why Coaching?
Educare’s Lab School & Learning Hub recognizes the process of transferring knowledge to practice as ongoing; requiring support and structure. Head Start Program Performance Standards (HSPPS) recognize the growing body of research which describes the effectiveness coaching has on the process of knowledge to practice transfer; requiring programs to implement research-based coaching strategies. Practice Based Coaching (PBC), promotes continuous self-assessment through a cycle of planning, observing, action, and reflecting; fostering a culture of life-long learning and improvement.
