Instructional Audits
Purpose of Instructional Audit:
- Identify variables that affect performance on state accreditation model
- Assist schools in the evaluation of their education quality processes
“An audit by an outside expert yields a detailed report of recommended changes and of what a school district is doing right. The audit provides a snapshot in time of the condition of instructional programs and practices” (Association of Supervision and Curriculum Development, 1985).
Data Coaching
The Data Coach Roles:
- Modeling and spreading data literacy among all members of the Data Team
- Convene the Data Teams, plan team meetings, facilitate the process of Data-Driven Dialogue, and guide the
team through collaborative inquiry - Provide leadership for sustainability of the practice of collaborative inquiry to continuously enhance student learning. (Love et al., 2008, p.35)
“Data Coaches are education leaders (teacher-leaders, instructional coaches, building administrators, or district staff) who guide Data Teams through the process of collaborative inquiry and influence the culture of schools to be ones in which data are used continuously, collaboratively, and effectively to improve teaching and learning. Their role is to engage others in making sense of and responding to data in ways that improve learning for all students. They facilitate the work of Data Teams, build capacity to use data well, and sustain the improvement process.” (Love et al., 2008, p.20)
PBEC Scheduling
A school’s master schedule is similar to a lesson plan for a classroom. The master schedule helps create the climate in a school where learning can take place, or not. PBEC can come into your school and create a master schedule that can best meet the needs of your students and teachers, whether it is a 4×4 block or modified block, A/B block, or a traditional six or seven period day. Each school is unique in its traditions, student demographics, and course offerings that depend typically on the areas of licensure of the faculty. By collaborating with you, we can help determine what will work best for your school.

Literacy Coaching
The International Reading Association (IRA) defines a reading coach or a literacy coach as a reading specialist who focuses on professional development for teachers by providing them with the additional support needed to implement various instructional programs and practices. They provide essential leadership for a school’s entire literacy program by helping create and supervise long-term staff development processes that supports both the development and implementation of the literacy programs over months and years. Our consultants assist teachers by providing them with effective strategies that promote student achievement growth, which leads to a higher rate of success on the 3rd grade Literacy tests.
