Ongoing consultation and coaching

Typically, most of the skills needed by staff for the successful implementation of a new curriculum are learned on the job with the help of training and a consultant or coach who is familiar with the core concepts of the curriculum, as well as the organizational or system culture in which the curriculum will be delivered. Such a presence helps to diagnose misdirection and missed opportunities and maximizes scarce resources. In cases where errors in implementation or delivery are identified, remediation in the form of coaching and consultation has proven to be quite beneficial.
