Coaching and Mentoring
Coaching and mentoring are high effective forms of support for teachers and leaders at all levels.
Inexperienced or under-confident teachers respond well to mentoring, giving them supportive and constructive feedback on any aspects of their role and providing guidance as to the next steps for improvement.
A confidential and supportive coaching service enables teachers to take a lead in their own development as practitioners, and is particularly effective for middle and senior leaders in schools. It provides space in the extremely busy, and occasionally fraught environment of a school for teachers to genuinely reflect on their practice and come up with effective solutions to problems that might be hindering organisational development. It can aid in conflict resolution, and give teachers a renewed sense of purpose and confidence in their roles.
Coaching teachers through the process of developing teaching and learning is an excellent tool to support the rapid improvement of pupil outcomes. Teachers at all levels benefit from a designated period of coaching and observation to dramatically improve their teaching grades.
