VIQI Coach Log

April 2018




COACH LOG

The purpose of the Coach Log is to collect information after each coaching session on coaching and teacher implementation in order to measure fidelity to the intervention and professional development model. The log will be administered via a secure online platform.















Introduction

COACH LOG OVERVIEW

Thank you for participating in the Variations in Implementation of Quality Interventions (VIQI)! As part of this study, we would like you to answer some questions about the teachers you coach, including their implementation of the VIQI intervention and your coaching process. This information is crucial to helping us understand the effects of coaching on teaching practices that support children’s developmental outcomes.

Your participation is completely voluntary, and you may skip any questions you do not wish to answer. The study team will follow strict procedures to protect your responses, and your responses will only be used for research and program improvement purposes. Your responses will be stored in password protected computer files and in locked research facilities. The data will be used only by the research team and other researchers bound by the same security requirements described here. We also may share de-identified responses with researchers looking at other education research topics who agree that they will protect your information.

If you have any questions, please contact [CONTACT INFORMATION].

Thank you!

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB number for this information collection is 0970-XXXX and the expiration date is XX/XX/XXXX.
