The focus of targeted strategies are to assist in implementing evidence-based practices through a series of workshops and a differentiated coaching emphasis. For example, the Utah Coaching Network (UCN) will provide participants with the opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to provide differentiated coaching support to school personnel in an effort to implement evidence-based practices. The audience for the UCN includes special educators with coaching experience, individuals considered to be change agents in their organization (special and general education), and administrators.

UCN has been developed to provide professional development to much larger groups of special educators and administrators, whereas ABC-UBI, UMTA, VOICES, and Running Start are designed to serve smaller groups of professionals To benefit from this level of professional development, substantial staff time and direct financial resources are required.
