Coaching for Educational Excellence is a comprehensive one-on-one and group coaching program devoted exclusively to educators. Developed by a lifelong teacher, mentor and coach, the program creates lasting positive change because it’s based in a genuine understanding of teachers and administrators. From the challenges educators face, to their passions, ideals, motivations, and personality traits, this program focuses on individuals, and gets to the heart of resolving issues — both personal and professional. The result? A harmonious, unified and happy team of individuals who remember why they do what they do, and love it more completely.
The Benefits of Coaching:
The following are just a few of the immediate and long-term benefits that coaching can provide educators.
- Lower stress
- Better classroom management
- Stronger organizational skills (which creates more free time at home)
- Constructive methods for conflict resolution (with students, coworkers and personal relationships)
- Less procrastination
- Increased confidence
- Fewer grievances (and the ability to let go of those that hold one back)
- Greater engagement (bye-bye, apathy and burnout!)
- Improved staff cohesion, with individuals working as a unified team
- Diminished “Culture of Complaining” (no more toxic bandwagon effect)
- Increased energy, optimism, motivation and enthusiasm!
Educators Who Benefit from Coaching:
Coaching can be particularly useful for:
- Beginning teachers, to help them feel grounded, confident, and rewarded by their passion for teaching. This is when the seeds for success are cultivated!
- Principals who want to improve their impact on their school site.
- Veteran teachers, who may feel overwhelmed, disempowered, or simply in a rut. Sometimes, just a few adjustments can renew the shine.
- Troubled teachers who struggle, feel burned out, or need disciplinary action. It’s far more cost-effective and compassionate to work with people to change a few behaviors than to replace them. (Terminations are difficult, and typically foster an environment of fear, paranoia and gossip.)
- Disengaged administrative or teaching staff who no longer enjoy their work and consider it “just a paycheck.” When it comes to reigniting a spark, a little goes a long way.
- Productive, happy teachers, administrators and principals, who want to realize greater potential and achieve their dreams. Everyone can improve. Coaching helps people do it joyfully.
Uncover. Discover. Recover. Welcome to the Discovery Session!
The Coaching for Educational Excellence program begins with an hour-long Discovery Session. This group coaching session offers an engaging, uplifting way for teachers, administrators and principals to celebrate strengths, identify areas of concern, reframe ideas, and map a way forward together. Change begins with a single moment of enlightenment. We have a limited time with each other: we make every moment count.
Rethink. Redo. Renew. Welcome to the heart of your program.
From here, the program is tailored to your school, needs, and budget. Services to choose from include:
- Training principals and teachers how to coach their staff and colleagues. This is a powerful, effective and cost efficient way for teachers to improve teaching skills and develop a stronger team approach to educating students in the school.
- Conduct Teleclasses geared toward teachers and principals. Convenient, over the phone seminars. All topics are relevant to teachers, and offer real-world, practical insights and approaches to improve.
- Coaching teachers and administrators. Direct coaching of individuals is ALWAYS the most direct and therefore powerful way to support change and improvement.
