There are six categories of competency: characteristics of effective specialists, observation, providing feedback, fostering reflective thinking, demonstration and verbal cues, and supporting continuous improvement. Each competency may be demonstrated during one-on-one conversations with practitioners (e.g., feedback conversations), during instruction or interactions with children (e.g., during co-teaching), or in both contexts. Coach-practitioner interactions can be focused on classroom management, children’s behavior, or children’s skill development.
