Practice Based Coaching
A skilled, knowledgeable, and effective work force is critical to the success of programs in supporting children and families. Like children, adults and caregivers need individualized support and professional development based on their needs, experiences, and goals.
The Cycle
With guidance from NCPMI and the Pyramid Model Consortium, Pyramid PIECES utilizes the tenets of Practice-Based Coaching (PBC) to support educators and administrators throughout implementation. The PBC cycle was developed by Patricia Snyder, Mary Louise Hemmeter, and Lise Fox as part of an Institute of Education funded project in 2007 and has evolved into the model we use today.
Collaborative Partnerships
Practice-based coaching is a cyclical process for supporting the use of effective, evidence-based practices that lead to positive outcomes for children and families as modeled below. PBC occurs within the context of collaborative part-5rships and each component of the cycle designed to inform actions taken by the coach and coachee.
The components that make up the model include:
Shared Goals & Action Planning
Focused Observation
Reflection & Feedback
Taken together, all help the coachee reach desired outcomes for improvement or refinement of evidence-based practice
