This session will describe key features of the coaching function to promote implementation fidelity of an integrated multi-tiered system of academic and behavior supports. Examples of coaching models will be provided along with recommendations for developing effective coaching structures.
Session Objectives:
•Understand the function of coaching to promote implementation fidelity
•Describe the unique features of coaching an integrated academic and behavior model of supports
•Identify key features to support the function of academic and behavior coaching
Description and Objectives

Why Integration of Academic and Behavior?Why Integration of Academic and Behavior?
• High quality academic instruction by itself can reduce problem behavior (Filter & Horner, 2009; Preciado, Horner, Scott, & Baker, 2009, Sanford, 2006)
• Implementation of schoolwide positive behavior support leads to increased academic engaged time and enhanced academic outcomes (Algozzine & Algozzine, 2007; Horner et al., 2009; Lassen, Steele, & Sailor, 2006)
• Improving social behavior results in more minutes spent in academic instruction (Putnam, Handler and O’Leary-Zonarich, 2003; Putnam, Handler, Rey and O’Leary-Zonarich, 2002)
• Child who fall behind are more likely to find academic work aversive and engage in escape-maintained problem behaviors (Lee et al., 1999; Macintosh, 2008; Roberts et al., 2001)

What is Coaching?What is Coaching?
• It is not a person but a function
• It varies, based on
• The practices being coached
• Who is coaching and who is being coached
• The current skill level and past experience
• The organizational structure for providing coaching
Coaching is complex and not well defined
“The concept of a coach is slippery. Coaches are not teachers, but they teach. They’re not your boss – but they can be bossy. Mainly, they observe, they judge, and they guide.”
Atul Gawande
“Coaches have to watch for what they don’t want to see and listen to what they don’t want to hear.”
John Madden
Coaching for Competence refers to an ongoing professional development process designed to…
• Ensure Implementation and Fidelity
– Acquire and improve the skills and abilities needed to implement an Evidence-Based Practice with fidelity or another well-defined innovation with as intended
– Generalize new and fragile skills to real world settings (classrooms, hallways, team meetings)
• Develop Professional Judgment
– Developing a conceptual understanding of the core elements of the Evidence-Based Practice processes or the core elements of the practices associated with the intervention (focus on function of key program features)
7
Coaching is a process that facilitates educational personnel (individually or as a member of a team) to implement effective practices with fidelity and durability
Coaching: My Definition
Functions of Training, Coaching, and Technical Assistance
• Training– Specific sessions with formal activities
designed for skill development• Coaching
– Ensuring transfer from training to practice– On-site skill development, enhancing the skills
through prompting and reinforcement• Technical Assistance
– An expert with specific technical/content knowledge provides information to address an identified need with customized solutions.
Terminology
• Coaching vs. Facilitating
– Same thing

MIBLSI Structures for Providing Coaching Functions- Handout
Internal vs. External Coaches
• Internal coaches are employed in the school where they provide support
• External coaches are employed outside the schools where they provide support (e.g. by district, region, state).
Internal vs. External

Advantages Knowledge of school

Multiple schools experience
Disadvantages Conflicting roles
Narrow range of experiences
Limited knowledge of school
Limited relationships
Less frequent access

Ultimately, all coaching takes place at an individual level (organizations don’t behavior, individuals within organizations do)
Variations of individual coaching include:
•Formal coaching from identified coaches
•Peer coaching
Individual Coaching
Individual vs. Systems
• Individual coaching (sometimes referred to instructional coaching) – Enhancing the skills of the individual
performer (teacher, principal) around MTSS practices for fidelity and effectiveness
• Systems coaching (e.g., team coaching)– Enhancing the skills of individuals within an
group (team) around their collective practices for implementing/managing MTSS
17
What are Examples of What are Examples of Coaching?Coaching?
• Bridging training to natural work setting
• Broaden understanding through conceptual feedback
• Facilitate problem solving/continuous improvement through various stages of implementation
• Promote organizational structures
• Provide acknowledgement and reinforcement
Bridging gap from training to practice: Consideration of Three Tracks
Acquisition:Think about how you plan to accomplish the work.
Continuous Improvement:Think about how to make it easy, better, more effective.
Sustainability:Think about how to continue the practice and ensure it will endure.
19
• Coaching activities with those being coached “before”, “during” and “after” training
• Coaching helps to translate and problem solve contextual issues
Coaching provides for assurance that skills learned in training will transfer to
the educational environment
Providing Conceptual Feedback
• Whenever possible, coaching should involve providing “Conceptual” feedback regarding the “Big Ideas” of the practice or intervention
• Make the general point first then illustrate it with examples from data sources (Practice Profile rubric data, permanent products, student data, observational data)
21
Components of Conceptual FeedbackVariableVariable ExplanationExplanation
Conceptual Label Descriptive and Consistent
Definition Describes in more detail what is meant by the label
Rationale Why is this important, what’s the function (e.g., student outcomes, values, results, teacher proficiency)
Illustrations Specific examples to illustrate the concept (from self-ratings, student data, products, practice profile, audit data, observational data)
Focused intent Can be Strength-based or Improvement Orientated
Directive or Reflective
Can be either or both
Problem Solving/Continuous Improvement
• Using guides (practice profiles) and team implementation checklist, communicate that this activity is urgent and a priority
• Help team get started and stay on track by providing guidance and modeling
– Model the use of data for decision making when meeting with leadership teams
• Make it easy to perform well through “organizational engineering”
23
Stages of ImplementationFocusFocus StageStage DescriptionDescription
Exploration/Adoption
Decision regarding commitment to adopting the program/practices and supporting successful implementation.
Installation Set up infrastructure so that successful implementation can take place and be supported. Establish team and data systems, conduct audit, develop plan.
Initial Implementation
Try out the practices, work out details, learn and improve before expanding to other contexts.
Elaboration Expand the program/practices to other locations, individuals, times- adjust from learning in initial implementation.
Continuous Improvement/Regeneration
Make it easier, more efficient. Embed within current practices.
Coaching through Stages of Implementation- Handout
Intensity of Supports Based on Need and Experience
from K. Blase, 200925
How much to coach?
Organization
• Schedule leadership meetings for the school year
• Preparing for meetings, agenda, and Action Plan
• Summarize fidelity of implementation and also student outcome data for use in leadership team meetings
• Identify possible next steps
• Summarizing for next step
• Follow up on action plan items
Acknowledgement and Reinforcement
• Any time a task is new, different or difficult for staff; it is important to acknowledge staff
• Acknowledge both principal and staff for implementation work (focus on acknowledging activities related to the team implementation checklist)
• Consider ratio of reinforcement (e.g., 5 acknowledgements to every 1 suggestions for change or correction)

Final Thoughts
• Coaching is a rewarding role
• Make everyone else around you more effective
• Help the team make the main ideas fit their students, culture, setting, families
• Focus on long-term impact.
“There was a moment in sports when employing a coach was unimaginable – and then came a time when not doing so was unimaginable. We care about
results in sports, and if we care half as much about results in schools and in
hospitals we may reach the same conclusion.”
