Title
Project Based Learning Virtual Instructional Coaching Networked Improvement Community
Abstract/Description
There is a growing body of evidence that face-to-face instructional coaching can support improvements in teachers’ practices and student learning. However, there is limited evidence to indicate whether coaching can be done well when conducted virtually, that is, when some or all of the interactions between teachers and coaches occur through communication technologies, such as videoconferencing. To address this gap in the evidence base, SRI International, the Buck Institute for Education (BIE), and Lucas Education Research (LER) formed a network of coaches, teachers, and leaders called the Project Based Learning Virtual Instructional Coaching (VIC) Networked Improvement Community. The VIC network developed a virtual instructional coaching model and refined it over time using tools and processes from improvement science. This report describes (1) high-leverage virtual instructional coaching practices that surfaced from coach-teacher interactions and (2) lessons learned about the use of improvement science for testing forms and processes developed for the virtual instructional coaching model.
