What is C3PD?

C3PD is a study funded by the national Institute of Education Sciences to develop a program that systematically prepares and trains early childhood coaches in a variety of school settings. The program focuses on building coaches’ competency in specific behaviors and skills that can be used to help teachers improve the quality of their classrooms. We are inviting districts to join our Fall 2023 study cohort!

What are the benefits to districts?

By participating in this study, instructional coaches that work with early childhood teachers in your district have the opportunity to receive high quality professional development that is specifically designed for coaches—a first of its kind. Increasing the quality of coaching can yield improvements in the quality of your teachers’ instruction and the learning and development of the children you serve.

How do I learn more?

The study kicks off Fall 2023. All professional development services are provided to coaches at no cost. Download our flyer to learn more about the C3PD study and fill out the interest form to participate.
