| Abstract: |
Research evidence suggests coaching is a promising professional development approach in early care and education (ECE). The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted services for children and families, and this had implications for the practice of coaching; however, little is known about the specific changes to the strategies or delivery of coaching, or about the challenges coaches faced in making those changes. This brief describes information about coaching that was gathered in 2021--about 18 months into the pandemic--from surveys and qualitative interviews with coaches, family child care providers, and center directors. The focus is on understanding remote coaching and various coaching strategies, such as modeling and observation, during this time frame. In addition, changes are reported about the use of some coaching strategies by comparing information from the 2021 surveys of coaches with the 2019 surveys of the same coaches. The surveys and interviews were collected as part of the Study of Coaching Practices in Early Care and Education Settings (SCOPE). The exploratory findings can inform the ECE field about coaching strategies used to support ECE teachers and providers during a time of change and crisis. |
