PIIC is…

Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE).
• a statewide resource for developing and supporting
consistent, high-quality instructional coaching in PA
schools through ongoing professional development
and IU Coach Mentor support.
• a secondary instructional coaching model with a
focus on embedding research-based literacy
practices in content-area classrooms.
The PIIC Model
The Four Quadrants
1) Working one-on-one and in small groups to
support teachers, coaches, and other school leaders
2) Using evidence-based literacy practices
3) Supporting reflective and non-evaluative practice
4) Focusing on collecting and analyzing data to assess
student needs.
The Questions Game
(Testing Our PIIC Veterans)
Step 1: Turn and Talk with a Partner
▫ Each partner asks his/her question and points to
the passage in the brochure that prompted the
question.
▫ Partners attempt to answer questions. Questions
that remain unanswered will move to the next
round.
