Learn More

Teachers, family child care providers, home visitors, and coaches can use the Head Start Coaching Companion video libary to view examples of teaching practices. Additionally, caregivers can also share videos and track their progress using three major components of Practice-Based Coaching (PBC) including:

  • shared goals and action planning;

  • focused observation; and

  • reflection and feedback.

Though PBC was designed with Head Start programs in mind, it aligns with a variety of coaching models.
