 Evidence of Coaching Efficacy

 

​There have been a number of published studies that provide evidence of the success of coaching with a variety of age groups and outcome measures, including a study with Merriman and Coddling (2008).  The coaching procedure incorporated goal setting and self-monitoring, as well as a fading procedure that enhanced the student's independence.  The results of this study with Merriman and Coddling reported improvements in work completed ranging from 60 to 88% over baseline results.  Students at the end of  this   intervention   reported completing at least 80% of assignments with at least 80% accuracy.  

 

A recent study published by Schultz, Evans, and Serpell (2009) reported results that suggest a coaching type of intervention can significantly impact the school performance of a population that is at a particular risk of executive skills weaknesses.
