Application of an e Coaching mentor model improves implementation fidelity of evidence-based practices, suggesting effective support for early childhood educators.
Many early childhood educators (ECEs) feel inadequately prepared to teach students with or at risk for disabilities and report challenges in implementing evidence-based practices (EBP) with fidelity. e Coaching through online Bug-In-Ear (BIE) technology is an EBP that can be used to enhance educators’ implementation fidelity of EBP by providing immediate, ongoing feedback in real time. In this paper, the application of an e Coaching mentor model (eCMM) as a means to enhance ECEs’ use of EBP with fidelity in the classroom is presented. Practical guidance on integrating the e CMM in a professional development (PD) framework, including recommendations for equipment, setup procedures, and step-by-step instructions and video resources is also described. A vignette is included to illustrate a practical application of the e CMM.
