Outstanding Coaching in Schools
Developing effective coaching in classrooms and in a whole school is one of the most important ways that we can of provide support for all members of the school community. This includes of course the learning and emotional support of pupils or students. But coaching is also of fundamental importance in terms of enabling all adults in the school to constantly enhance their skills and professionalism, whilst also providing them with the kind of support that develops a healthy working environment for everyone.
This course will provide you with a clear understanding of why coaching is important in schools, what coaching is, how you can develop your own skills as a coach, and the knowledge and skills that will enable you to move from being a highly successful coach to being an outstanding coach.
Coaching is for everyone in the school. So whether you are a headteacher, principal, classroom teacher, or member of the support staff, you will find that this course will provide you with a rich treasure of tools and ideas that will bring you ever more success and satisfaction in your work as well as your private life.
The course can be used for your own personal development and is split up into eight bite-size sections. This is designed to enable you to study each section individually and incorporate the ideas into your daily practice in your school.
In addition, the course can be used as a school INSET resource, where the sections can be used to provide the basis for individual training sessions over an extended period of time. The 25 downloadable worksheets provided with this course can also be used as resources for these training sessions.
