"Systems coaching" is used to implement systems-level school improvement initiatives that will build capacity and strengthen infrastructure. In Ohio, the state's regional network of literacy specialists and state support teams for central office and district leaders provided systems coaching to build an infrastructure to support the use of evidence-based language and literacy practices. Coaching addresses school improvement action planning to ensure all students receive high-quality reading instruction. In this model, coaches and teachers work collaboratively to examine students' literacy data and identify evidence-based strategies that will augment instructional practices specifically tied to student needs. To reach as many students and educators as possible using the student-focused coaching model, coaching services are offered within a four-tiered system, in which the dosage and intensity of coaching vary across tiers.
