Coaching That Lifts You Up — Not Looks Over Your Shoulder
Practice-Based Coaching (PBC) is all about support, not supervision. It’s a partnership built on trust, reflection, and shared goals — where teachers and administrators work together to strengthen everyday practices that make a real difference for children. Coaches don’t “checkup” on you — they cheer you on, helping you grow your skills, build confidence, and celebrate success along the way.
Practice-Based Coaching (PBC) is a professional development strategy that uses a cyclical process. This process supports teachers’ use of effective teaching practices that lead to positive outcomes for children. PBC occurs in the context of collaborative partnerships.
