Using Practice-Based Coaching in a Group Coaching Format

Practice Based Coaching (PBC) can be delivered in a variety of ways to build teachers’ capacity to implement Pyramid Model practices in their classroom. In past webinars, we discussed how PBC is delivered individually. In this webinar, we invite a coach with experience using PBC in a group format. Panelists will discuss the benefits, the structure and process, and share teacher perspectives to using this approach.
