Embedding a Culture of Coaching in your School - Dubai

Karen Ardley Associates are delighted to be offering our Embedding a Culture of Coaching programme in Dubai in the Autumn term.

Dates: Saturday 26th – Monday 28th October 2024

PROGRAMME OUTLINE

Researchers agree on the potential power of developing staff through ensuring the organisational culture is based on coaching. In a true coaching culture, individuals are supported challenged and developed to be the best versions of themselves. The impact of coaching on both the coachee and the coach is positive and powerful.

This three-day face to face programme provides participants with the opportunity to explore and develop the key skills required for coaching in a school context.

A range of practical activities is blended with an overview of the theoretical basis for coaching effectiveness which will enable the participants to develop insight, confidence and competence in relation to practical coaching with colleagues.

We will explore the skills, qualities and practice required by successful and effective coaches. Participants will be given opportunities to apply their new skills to classroom coaching to improve teacher performance.
