The PIIC Approach: PIIC’s approach to instructional mentoring and instructional coaching reflects the growing consensus about what constitutes good professional development for teachers. It is:
Ongoing and job-embedded, recognizing that teachers want and need strategies for continuous improvement in their work.
Linked to state standards, curriculum, and assessment, so that teachers build knowledge and skills directly related to what their students need to learn.
Confidential and non-evaluative, so that teachers can work honestly and openly with their coaches and colleagues on self-improvement.
Founded on evidence-based strategies for improving instruction, to offer teachers practical, classroom-focused assistance.
