Dear staff
Thank you for attending the coaching session and for giving me so much useful and positive feedback. There will be two more sessions this year, the second in November. We are also going to be embedding coaching into our practice through TLCs, with time during each TLC for coaching, developing coaching skills and coaching relationships.
There were many requests for more information following the session last week; I am therefore putting a few links here. The intention is that those interested can explore this further and add more links, information, comments and questions themselves. Here are a few links to get you started.
Research document summarising impact of coaching in six case study schools

Link to a Teachers TV programme about coaching, now streamed through another site – there are three good ones on the same site

Website for CUREE, Centre for Use of Research and Evidence in Education, good starting point for further study

Hope you find these useful and I look forward to hearing your comments and questions
Thanks
