Abstract: As accountability of school policies and practices rise, schools in the United States are focusing on educational reform. However, there is little research focusing on coaches who engage in implementation strategies geared towards school reform (Mayer et al., 2015) and even fewer examining behavioral coaching of groups of individuals (Hackman & Wageman, 2005). These challenges arise at both the systems and content level. Currently, minimal literature exists that provides guidance for coaching processes that address systems-level features necessary for effective behavioral systems. Developing and implementing a structured coaching process that focus on implementing behavioral supports at both the systems and content level are necessary. This panel will provide guidelines and processes for building capacity of coaching at the systems level and content-level. Examples of an adaptation of Bill Abernathy's Total Performance System was applied at the systems level as well as practice-based coaching applied to building the skills of educators who are behavioral support coaches. Professional development assessments, tools, and data will be shared that have been used in efforts to improve behavioral systems and practices. |
