New Date - Practice Based Coaching
Practice Based Coaching is a valuable training model for individuals who are in a mentor role, such as directors, supervisors, lead educators, and pedagogical leaders. This training facilitates coaching and mentoring to support educators in early years settings to grow and scaffold on their daily practices with children, families and co-educators. Practice Based Coaching is directly aligned with the Pyramid Model and its foundational components are universal to all Early Years practitioners in mentoring roles.
Practice-Based Coaching (PBC) is a professional development model aimed at improvising the practices of educators through ongoing, structured support. It focuses on the actual implementation of practices of Pyramid Model in early childhood settings, helping individuals refine their skills by engaging in cycles of planning, action, observation, and reflection.
It is designed to be ongoing coaching support, allowing individuals to continuously refine their skills and adapt to new challenges. It is commonly used in education, early childhood care, and other fields that require continuous professional development.
This training will help you understand how to coach, ask reflective questions, engage your educators to grow, and build your educators capacity to implement Pyramid Model practices ongoing.
