During this session participants will:

  • Gain a clear understanding of what coaching is and how it is similar to and different from other ‘learning though talking’ interactions
  • Explore the difference between ‘coaching’ and ‘a coaching approach’ and when to use each
  • Build confidence to use the GROWTH coaching framework
  • Develop familiarity with the elements of the GROWTH Coaching System
  • Provide a practical way of setting and achieving professional goals
  • Provide an opportunity for direct experience of the impact of coaching conversations applied to real education topics
  • Consolidate coaching knowledge, skills and confidence as a result of practice with reflection and feedback

This session is designed to provide participants with an intensive learning experience leading to an understanding of coaching skills anyone can use, a coaching way of being, a proven coaching process, and the better conversations beliefs and habits.
