| Abstract: | Thomas M. SkrticDepartment of Special Education, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas, USABarbara A. BradleyDepartment of Curriculum and Teaching, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas, USAJim KnightCenter for Research on Learning, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas, USA We designed a multiple baseline study to evaluate an instructional coaching model in which coaches use video recordings of collaborating teachers’ classrooms to inform their coaching practices. In this model, teachers and coaches use video evidence to co-construct a student-based goal and identify best practices to reach their goal. We found that the instructional coaching model is associated with greater use of effective pedagogical strategies among teachers and increased student engagement in the classroom. |
