Leadership Teams

It takes a team to make data-informed decisions!

What is a PBC-DIDM Leadership Team?

A Leadership Team is a group of people that can offer insights about how to support coaches, practitioners, and children or their families. Team members often include an administrator who can make decisions about the coaching initiative, coaches, practitioners, and other people within the program with diverse knowledge and experiences related to PBC, professional development, and data-informed decision making.

Why is a Leadership Team important for PBC-DIDM?

Making data-informed decisions takes a team! Leadership teams are structured to encourage all members of the team to engage in setting goals for PBC-DIDM implementation and measuring progress toward those goals using the PBC-DIDM Implementation Profile.

In addition to setting goals, the Leadership Team regularly engages in the Prepare-Look-Think-Act (PLTA) Process and shares their perspectives about effort and effect data to inform actions or next steps.Programs implementing PBC-DIDM regularly collect, “Prepare,” and share data with members of the Leadership Team. Together the team “Looks” at and “Thinks” about the data presented and uses the data to inform “Action” steps that will enhance program outcomes or effects.

Establishing a Leadership Team helps to ensure PBC-DIDM is a shared initiative that can be scaled-up, adapted to the needs of the program, and sustained over time.

How could teams or individuals use this information?

When implementing PBC-DIDM, one of the first steps is identifying who will be part of the PBC-DIDM Leadership Team. The Leadership Team Considerations module will help you learn more about considerations for identifying Leadership Team members and integrating PBC-DIDM into existing efforts within your program.
