Equip your school staff with the skills and tools they need to be successful coaches and show them how to use these skills to impact upon whole-school improvement.

This course provides participants with a clear understanding of what coaching is, how it can be used powerfully as a force for constructive change and how to use the different tools of coaching most effectively.  People who are trained can coach each other, their colleagues and pupils – helping to fulfil their own and others’ potential.
