Course Overview

You will build a repertoire of powerful techniques - such as incisive questioning, active listening, goal setting, and effective feedback - that will greatly enhance your practice. We will also guide you through some of the most insightful literature in the field and encourage you to critically engage with it. You will increase your own self-awareness using psychometric testing, journal writing, and peer coaching. Throughout this single module program, you will develop your capabilities as a reflective writer and keep a journal in order to evaluate your own coaching and mentoring. The course is an opportunity to develop your leadership and management skills, either to support new teachers induction into the profession or to help more established colleagues to realize their potential.
