Coaching around PTR-YC
How Often Should I Meet with My Coachee Team?
The amount of time you spend with your coachee is determined by the phase of coaching you are in and by your Implementation Team. Teaching teams who are new to coaching or who haven't met fidelity on the TPOT/TPITOS will need more frequent coaching sessions than teams who are more experienced and have met fidelity.
Remember, one Practice-Based Coaching Cycle includes both a focused observation and a coaching meeting. Your observations should be focused on goals and action plans. Your coaching meeting offers an opportunity to provide feedback and to reflect.
If you need more information about Practice Based Coaching, or want to watch videos describing each phase of the cycle, you can visit the Head Start Early Childhood Learning and Knowledge Center website.
