Improving our practices supports school readiness goals
Professional Development goals and Intensive Coaching goals are connected to School Readiness goals by improving our HOVRS practices, our PAT Fidelity practices or focusing on GOLD dimensions.
Coaching will support goals through observations, resources and optional trainings related to School Readiness goals, connecting them to chosen practices
