Good Morning!
  In my last post I mentioned one of my favorite blogs Buzzing With Ms. B. Today I thought I'd share a couple of resources that I've found to be an amazing resource for me in my new position as an instructional coach.
 I work for a Head Start school center. I've been trained in Practice Based Coaching (PBC) which is a professional development strategy that uses a cyclical process. This process supports teachers’ use of effective teaching practices that lead to positive outcomes for children. PBC occurs in the context of collaborative partnerships. Click  to view  videos to learn more about PBC.

I've also found a great deal of support in a Collaborative Platform for the Early Care and Education Community also part of  Early Childhood Learning and Knowledge Center  (ECKLC) . 
"MyPeers is a virtual learning network where you can brainstorm, exchange ideas, and share resources with early childhood colleagues from across the country. It was created by the Office of Head Start (OHS) to help you connect and learn with people who share your interests and program responsibilities. These informal connections can be a great source of encouragement and insight.
There are more than 40 MyPeers communities!"

Join as many as meet your roles and interests.

Current communities include:

• AIAN Language and Culture
• Child Care Health Consultants
• Culturally and Linguistically Responsive Practices (CLRP)
• Directors Corner
• Disabilities/Inclusion Network
• PFCE Deepening Practice
• Economic Mobility for Families
• Facilities
• Health, Safety, and Wellness
• Home Visitors
• Mental health Consultation
• Staff Wellness
• Teacher Time

Join or log in now to explore the open communities in MyPeers. The collaborative platform has been my best resources to date!

Happy Coaching!
