Using Solution-Focused BRIEF Coaching with Early Childhood Educators

We followed the protocols of SFBC and coached five student teachers in early childhood classrooms. After two sessions, we interviewed participants about their perceptions of the SFBC process as related to their teaching goals. Participants credited the “miracle question” for building self-efficacy. Talking about their own strengths encouraged them to move successfully through challenges. The “forced” reflection allowed time to form specific strategies to reach stated goals. Being situated as “experts” in the coaching conversation and the verbalization of preferred futures prompted news ways to process their thoughts.
