Coaching Within Education is a professional development course designed for teachers who want to develop their coaching skills and support their students’ and colleagues’ growth and development. The course is suitable for teachers of all levels and subject areas who are looking to improve their instructional practices and create a positive impact within their school community.

Through this course, teachers will learn effective coaching strategies and techniques to enhance student learning outcomes and support their colleagues’ professional growth. Teachers will also gain valuable insights into student-centered coaching, data-driven decision-making, and collaborative problem-solving techniques.

– Reflective Practice: Reflective practice involves teachers reflecting on their own teaching practices, identifying areas for improvement, and developing strategies to enhance their instruction. This method helps teachers to continuously improve their practice and better meet the needs of their students.

– Peer Coaching: Peer coaching involves teachers working with a colleague to observe and provide feedback on each other’s teaching practices. This approach allows teachers to receive feedback from someone who understands the challenges and opportunities within the educational setting.

– Role-Playing: Role-playing involves simulating real-life situations, such as difficult conversations or coaching sessions, to help teachers practice their coaching skills in a safe and supportive environment. This approach allows teachers to receive feedback and refine their coaching skills before applying them in real-life situations.

– Action Planning: Action planning involves setting specific goals and developing actionable steps to achieve them. This method helps teachers to develop a clear plan of action and stay focused on achieving their coaching and teaching goals.
