education (ECE) providers are

classrooms serving children supported
by Child Care and Development Fund
(CCDF) subsidies or Head Start grants.
This study will focus primarily on
coaching used for delivering
professional development services to
ECE teachers and caregivers to improve
knowledge and practice in center-based
classrooms and family child care (FCC)
homes serving preschool-age children.
This study aims to advance
understanding of how core features of
coaching are implemented in ECE
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.
