The coach approach has the power to transform our schools from old-fashioned, autocratically-led, struggling establishments into forward-thinking, team focused, learning hubs in which children and educators thrive.
How?
By handing back control to the people at the chalkface!
Coaching leapfrogs the constraints of the system by inspiring educators to rediscover their personal power, creativity and resourcefulness and empowering them to take action to shape how they they want things to be.
Coaching isn’t a therapeutic service, it’s not counselling, it is a forward-facing process that helps explore strengths and gain clarity around how to educate the way you want to and how to live the life you want. It starts from where you are now and works to move you forward, on your terms! How refreshing!
The coach approach is all about growing and harvesting ideas and options, when at first glance there are none. It also helps people to commit to taking action, which can be one of the biggest hurdles in changemaking.
Coaching is what we have in our locker to transform education into the joy bringing, inspiring, happy process that we want it to be.
Positive change is within our power!
