Foundations of Coaching in Early Childhood: Partnering with Parents and Professionals is a video training resource for early childhood coaches, based on the 5 key characteristics of coaching as outlined by Dathan Rush and M’Lisa Shelden. These characteristics can be applied to a number of early childhood settings.

The purpose of this video series is to give professional learning facilitators material to use with coaches as examples, thinking prompts, and opportunities for discussion about practice.

We created this video series as a free resource for coaches, educators, and other early childhood professionals. You are welcome to use for any educational and/or non-commercial use. If you have questions about the videos or usage, please email Tom Zeleznock, Greater Hartford Gives Senior Communications Officer, at tzeleznock@greaterhartfordgives.org.
