Coaching is one of the best ways to enhance the skills of early childhood practitioners and ensure high-quality learning experiences for young children with and without disabilities. With this authoritative professional learning resource, educators and early interventionists will learn how to use coaching and consultation methods to support inclusion and ensure the best outcomes for all children from birth to five.
Written by two experts on early childhood intervention and special education, this book introduces multiple models of professional collaboration and offers in-depth guidance on how to implement an effective consultation/coaching model in early childhood settings. From big-picture considerations to small logistical details, professionals will master the entire process of creating, maintaining, and evaluating a successful coaching relationship. In each chapter, case examples, discussion questions, chapter summaries, and group activities reinforce key points and encourage reflection.
An essential professional resource and an ideal textbook for courses on consultation and coaching, this comprehensive guide will help early childhood practitioners work together to improve educational and developmental outcomes for all young children.

Industry Reviews
In an important analysis, the authors discuss social power and social influence and their effects on coach-partner relationships. Readers are invited to honestly reflect on their communication skills, their ability to express respect, and their acceptance of feedback from others. Rich case examples illustrate interactions, problem solving approaches, and progress monitoring techniques that coaches and partners can choose from and implement. The authors acknowledge that developing a collaborative relationship takes time and dedication. They offer practical suggestions and accommodations so that partners who come together with a coach feel supported in their daily work and can effectively respond to child- and program-specific needs.
As early intervention programs and school districts increasingly seek coaching teams to facilitate inclusive early care and education, they face real-life logistics and rapid changes in the use of technology. The authors provide honest discussions and reflections on the benefits and challenges of virtual communication, meetings, resource sharing, and progress monitoring. Readers will be able to apply tips and reflections to their daily work; they will know how to assure that all team members are included and supported throughout the coaching journey. I hope that this text will invite instructors to offer trans-disciplinary courses and practicums for their pre-service professionals. The book is also well suited for in-service professionals who need to effectively respond to the increasing demands for consultative coaching. This book offers co-learning opportunities for coaches and partners so that they may become co-pilots in providing inclusive early care and education." --Simone DeVore, Ph.D.
