Programme Overview
This innovative professional development programme has been designed by the London Centre for Leadership in Learning (LCLL) at the UCL / IOE, in partnership with the New Horizons TSA. It is aimed at colleagues who have a coaching role in developing teachers through improving their practice. This may be facilitated by school improvement initiatives such as the STEP programme.
The programme helps participants to build on and further develop their coaching skills. It aims to develop an understanding of how, through coaching, to:
- support colleagues in improving their practice
- understand what ‘coaching readiness’ looks like
- know how change affects people
- be aware of themselves as emotionally intelligent leaders
- effectively manage challenging conversations
- understand what builds and destroys trust
and so help to develop a coaching culture within and across the organisation.
