Coaching in Schools Pocketbook

Author Andy Vasss definition of coaching emphasises the process of learning. Its about helping people to uncover their own solutions rather than giving them advice, telling them what to do or solving problems for them. Whether youre coaching or being coached, the Coaching in Schools Pocketbook can help you to become even better in your role.

Find out how solution-focused tools like exceptions and scaling enable high quality, thoughtful dialogues and how becoming skilful at asking questions, listening and providing feedback can develop both coach and coachee. Andys RIGAAR model for framing a coaching conversation shows, step by step, how to establish and achieve goals that lead to exciting and positive change. Whether youre an NQT, a Headteacher, or Middle Leader, youll be inspired by examples from teachers and students describing, in their own words, how coaching has worked for them and for their schools, improving performance and raising attainment at every level.
