Become better equipped to communicate as a teacher, leader, or manager to help people reach their goals.

Coaching can strengthen your ability to support others to reach their goals

Coaching draws on positive psychology and, more recently, neuroscience to help people understand how to stay on track and reach their goals within an educational context.

On this course, you will be introduced to coaching as an approach to personal learning and how to be a trustful, motivating, and goal-oriented colleague.

In a society where new policy and technology, as well as pandemics and disasters, change the way education is organized and run, the ability to adapt to changing life-situations is a prerequisite for success.

What topics will you cover?

  • Week 2: Awareness of core principles in coaching
  • Week 3: Introduction to questioning skills
  • Week 4: Using the GROW-model
