Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Effective skill training combines theory presentation, demonstration, practice with feedback, and coaching for transfer (review attribution) — a broader claim this one bears on
• Pairing coaching with group trainings is associated with larger effects on instruction and achievement; instructional materials with larger, and video libraries with smaller, effects on instruction — related
• Training improves about half of healthcare professional delivery-quality outcomes, with communication (54%) and content-delivery (55%) outcomes improving similarly — related
• Parent Coaching Outperforms Information Only — a broader claim this one bears on
