INSET Outline
Rationale for promoting coaching throughout school and in the classroom
- Facilitate staff into becoming proactive and solutions focused practitioners with clear strengths in reflective practice.
- Increase the capacity to identify and own the actions staff need to take to improve the ways in which they lead or support teaching and learning.
- Develop a psychologically safe and effective professional learning community where strengths can be brought to the fore.
- Create a learning environment where development is collaborative and underperformance is both recognised and addressed rapidly
- Promote consistent, excellent high quality practice and a sustainable high performing culture
Helping leaders and all staff to develop the toolkit to support the implementation and development of coaching throughout school
• Developing an understanding of a range of coaching models and tools to support practice (delegates will be provided with a toolkit as part of the training).
• Understand the factors that support the creation of an effective coaching culture through school
• Using coaching in the classroom: using empathetic listening and powerful questioning to develop pupil’s growth mind-set, resilience and capacity to take ownership of their own learning and progress
