Project: Support networks for instructional coaches and special education teachers

Favorite

In this study, we wanted to explore the support networks of instructional coaches of beginning special education teachers and those of rural special education teachers, and how these networks relate to intent-to-stay in the field as a coach or special education teachers. We collected data across two waves.
In the first wave, we only collected ego-centric network data of instructional coaches. In the second wave, we used a sequential mixed methods approach starting with ego-centric network data collection followed by semi-structured interviews.
