Continuing Professional Development for Teachers
Practical and sustainable whole school solutions that deliver high quality teaching and learning.
Coaching the NQT - Going Beyond Mentoring

Coaching can help to embed a culture of excellence and improvement across a whole organisation. Coaches can have a significant impact on embedding transformational change as part of planned continuing professional development focus or where policy changes require organisational and curriculum reform. Coaching can be highly influential in helping to cascade a culture of excellence and improvement across the organisation.

The day will include:

  • A review of current practice in relation to mentoring and coaching NQTs
  • An opportunity to reflect on what makes a successful teacher and learner and how to cascade this to NQTs
  • An exploration of a number of different coaching models that will help with professional dialogue and develop reflective practice
  • Examine the principles of learning and reflect on a range of active pedagogies and how these are used in practice
  • Identify ways to apply coaching skills in suporting the development of new teaching strategies
  • Create a plan that supports developing a challenging programme of support and feedback

There is an opportunity to join an online forum for delegates who attend so that as each individual embarks upon a coaching programme in their relevant school or college he or she can seek support, share experiences, ideas and resources and belong to a community of practicing coaches.

Who should attend?

Managers with responsibility for mentoring newly qualified teachers or those with only a few years experience. Aspiring managers and those professionals who want to learn coaching techniques to support the development of inexperienced or trainee teachers.
