ERTCIS

The Electronic Real-Time Coaching-In Support (ERTCIS) protocol is delivered by a REACH(c) facilitator during instructional time in a classroom. After the teacher participates in two professional development sessions, the first focused on ERTCIS cues and phrases and the second focused on norming the understanding of when and why a cue may be provided, the teacher receives real-time coaching via our headset transmitter and receiver protocol. This protocol is highly effective because instead of watching a teacher struggle with delivering instruction, the facilitator is able to make suggestions and point out opportunities for better teaching strategies during the lesson. The protocol is also used with students to promote engagement and students’ ownership of learning.
