This study will focus primarily on

This study aims to advance
understanding of how core features of

classrooms, how the features may vary
by key contextual factors and
implementation drivers, and which are
ripe for more rigorous evaluation. The
study tasks will include gathering
information to inform selection of states
in which to conduct the study,
designing and conducting a descriptive
study to examine the occurrence and
variability of coaching features in ECE
classrooms, and conducting case studies
to examine program or systems-level
drivers of coaching and the features
being implemented.
