Coaching for Education

What is the Coaching for Education?

Our Coaching for Education programme is designed to help teachers and support staff feel more confident and effective in their roles, leading to improved outcomes for learners. We believe that Coaching for Education is a powerful tool for supporting learners, your department and the wider organisation by helping teachers to feel more confident and effective. You create an environment in which learners feel supported and challenged; our coaching and mentoring programmes can help teachers and support staff to develop strategies for engaging learners, building relationships, and fostering a love of learning and future autonomy.

School and College CfE Support:

During the Coaching for Education programme The Teacher Coach works with senior leaders, teachers and support staff to identify areas for growth, set goals, and develop strategies for success. With his support, teachers and support staff can feel empowered to take risks, be creative, try new approaches, and develop their knowledge, skills and behaviours of coaching and mentoring.
