Coaching Framework
Coaches use non-evaluative evidence-based practices within an integrated coaching framework informed by the wisdom of practice, the PPPs, and aligned with the Va. Standards of Professional Practice for Teachers. The coaching framework shown below includes 8 interrelated strands: building relationships, personal support, contextual considerations, questioning, goal setting, gathering evidence, feedback and plans for next steps. The coach engages the Early-Career Teacher in these processes to support reflection and professional growth that moves them along a continuum from wherever they are to highly effective teaching.
