The valid OMB control number for this information collection is XXXX-XXXX which expires XX/XX/20XX.

This survey is part of the Study of Coaching Practices in Early Care and Education Settings (SCOPE), a study being conducted for the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) by Mathematica Policy Research.
When
responding to questions in this survey, please think only about
coaching provided directly to teaching staff in one-on-one or
teaching team settings, and not
about any coaching that happens at the center level.

We will not provide information that identifies you or your center to anyone outside the study team, except as required by law. Your responses will be used only for statistical purposes.
This survey is voluntary, but your response is critical for producing valid and reliable data. You may skip any questions you do not wish to answer; however, we hope that you answer as many questions as you can. Participation in the study will not impose any risks to you as a respondent.
