What Does It Look Like On The Other Side??

What Does It Look Like On The Other Side??

Now that most of you are moving on to be assessed buy the UW and then to the coaching and $$ phase of Early Achievers, what will that look like??

Since it is just beginning (the first site in the state to get there is just going to begin the coaching now), details are still in the works.

You can expect a few things though:

·         Your coach will have lots more hours to give you that I did.  Expect visits at least monthly or more.  The actual amount will vary by your points and needs.

·         Your coach will work more directly with teachers in the classroom.  While I spent lots of time in the classrooms doing practice assessments, my work was primarily with directors and FCC owners.

·         You will work with your coach to set goals.  My goal with you was primarily to familiarize you with Early Achievers, practice the assessments and gather the points you need to get to the other side.  Your new goals will be your own.

·         You coach will use modeling, reflective practice, appreciative inquiry and other coaching techniques with you and your staff.  Again, my role was more of a point A to point B role.

·         You will get your improvement $$ soon after you area assigned a coach.  That will be great!

Your coach will be from Child Care Resources, but will not be me.  I will be continuing to guide new Early Achievers through the process of Level 2. 

We’ll still stay in contact, and I hope you will continue to come to the reflective practice group.  You’ll still need those 2 points for your next rating in 3 years, and the time to meet with other providers and learn, share and reflect to elevate your practice will be valuable to you ongoing.
