Support of Implementation

• In a 2004 study by the University of Kansas
  Center for Research on Learning, instructional
  coaching was found to significantly increase the
  implementation rate of newly learned practices.
  This study indicated that without support and
  follow-up, teacher implementation of new
  instructional methods is about 10, but with
  coaching the percentage increases to 85 (Knight,
  2004)
