Description
by Mark Jamieson (Author), Rachel Wood (Author)
A thought-provoking and engaging guide to coaching in an educational setting, demonstrating how to coach young people in the classroom and how to embed a coaching culture in schools.
Aimed at teachers, school leaders and aspiring educators, Coaching in the Classroom reimagines the relationship between leadership coaching and education to maximise students' achievements and well-being. Drawing on the author's experience and backed by rigorous research and theoretical underpinning, this book widens the scope of coaching in education. It's no longer just about staff development but also about teachers working with young people.
Based on a unique understanding of learning as a choice driven by curiosity, ambition and aspiration, the reader is guided how to integrate coaching and other innovative learning approaches such as team-based learning into an educational setting. Evidence is offered of the positive effect of coaching as a companion to conventional learning;
- enhancing academic achievement
- enriching the student experience
- nurturing high achievers
- inspiring moderate performers with high potential, and
- re-engaging those who may be currently outside the academic mainstream.
Well-crafted case studies help to promote critical thinking by inviting the reader to become involved, practically and intellectually in the application of new ideas and the conceptualisation of learning. These case studies illustrate the impact of coaching working in concert with pedagogical theories, to increase engagement, attendance, inclusion, and attainment as well as harnessing the hidden potential of future workers.
