A study conducted in 2006 by Debra J. Ackerman, Ph.D., National Institute for Early Education Research at Rutgers University, offered the following findings about the preparation of consultants:

“咨询师本身可能缺乏有效工作所需的技能. While they usually come to the field already possessing a college degree and some type of early childhood-related experience (Wesley & Buysse, 2004)，作为变革的推动者，他们需要一个 additional specialized knowledge base. 因此，培训可能不仅需要 in the content area of their work, but also in the consulting process, the kinds of strategies that can bring about change, and effective communication and conflict management skills (Buysse & Wesley, 2005; File & Kontos, 1992, 1998; Klein & Harris, 2004)."

Based on this study, the Francis Institute for Child and Youth Development created a curriculum and training to improve the effectiveness of coaching for education and human services organizations.

Supervisors who focus on coaching are able to reduce the time they spend on crises management and move from surviving to thriving as staff members become active partners in creating better programs for children.
