This aim of this interactive workshop is to give you some simple tools that will help you adopt a coaching approach when interacting with students. The benefits of coaching include greater engagement, increased motivation, increased productivity, greater overall efficiency and sense of ownership. This will be a safe space where you can think about how you can create an environment that supports a coaching approach for your interactions with students. It will help you understand the benefits of assisting students in setting goals and taking control of the direction of their educational trajectory.

In this workshop we will: 

  • Consider the benefits of coaching techniques for supporting students
  • Explore coaching approaches, benefits of coaching, and how to foster coaching environments
  • Introduce some key models
  • Encourage participants to reflect on their approaches to supporting students

Participants who have completed this course/session will be able to:

  • Have a better understanding of how you can utilise coaching techniques in your various roles
  • Learn how to facilitate a conversation using a coaching approach
  • Be able to empower your students by engaging in goal setting and other coaching techniques such as active listening and powerful questioning
  • Reflect on your current practices and how you could incorporate a coaching approach to give students greater autonomy and agency
  • Recognise the benefits that coaching can bring in terms of student confidence, improved skills, trust and rapport
  • Understand the boundaries of a coaching relationship and how it differs from mentoring and counselling
