This 3-day course is conducted by an ICF-certified professional coach with school leadership experience. The course distinguishes coaching from other approaches to professional development in schools (for example, mentoring and on-the job-training).
Coaching is a powerful approach for self-awareness that leads to shift of mindsets and a transformed personal and professional life. This course provides step-by-step guidance to coaching others while undertaking your primary educators’ role as middle leaders and school leaders.

Participants will also be actively working on a Coaching Plan for authentic application in schools.
