Description

The programme opens on day one of a three day training session with trainer Mike Hughes who introduces the principles of coaching. Mike demonstrates one of the most common methodologies used in coaching, the GROW model: goal setting, helping to identify issues, where the teacher would like to be, and how they are going to get there. He makes it clear that one of the great strengths of a coaching relationship is that it enables teachers to take control of their own development and to be in charge of identifying the issues that they want to explore.Observe a real coaching session at Wymondham School in Suffolk where they have introduced coaching as a whole school approach.Finally the programme presents a reconstructed case study revealing how a new head teacher, using one to one coaching with experienced coach Graham Powell, was able to change the dynamics of her senior management team and improve her personal wellbeing.
