PIIC's approach to instructional coaching
Coaches assist teachers in classrooms with the PIIC core elements at the center:
 * One-on-one and small group support for teachers and other school leaders
 * Collecting and analyzing data to identify and address student needs and measure student progress
 * Evidence-based literacy practices across all content areas
 * Reflective and non-evaluative practice to determine what worked well

The **B, D, A (before, during, and after)** **cycle of consultation** and feedback is fundamental to the PIIC model. It is a cycle of communication, collaboration, confidentiality, and collective problem-solving. This three-pronged process offers the opportunity for coaches and teachers to work together to **co-plan** and co-design ways to enhance the students' literacy learning, to **visit** in classrooms and focus on a pre-determined set of goals and objectives, and to **reflect** about what worked well and if the goals and objectives for that lesson were met.


 * __Before__: The coach works one-on-one with the teacher to plan the focus of a visit and the data that the coach could possibly collect during the visit.
 * __During__: The coach actually visits the class and collects the agreed-upon data.
 * __After__: The coach meets with the teacher after the classroom visits to debrief the class lesson and to discuss the data collected and its implications for the planning of future lessons.
