(graded assignments, provided feedback, participated in discussion boards,
etc.), held synchronous meetings (taught lessons to extend learning,
facilitated discussions between participants, and provided support), and
communicated with NCDB and the SDBPs about participant progress.
Twenty-one candidates from seven states participated, with the intention of
pursuing national certification. Participating SDBPs were required to work
closely with school districts and educational teams, and the intervener
candidates from their states. Additionally, each SDBP worked
collaboratively with NCDB, the module host, and each other. They were
provided with information on coaching best practices identified in the
professional literature and developed by NCDB. Intervener candidates
could only participate if their SDBPs were involved.
