Leadership Coaching in Schools

Inherent in the teaching profession is the value of leadership. Whether you’re leading kindergarten students in learning a poem or helping high school seniors master differential calculus, if you’re a teacher, you are a leader. It only makes sense that leadership coaching can benefit teachers, because a teacher with outstanding leadership skills is more likely to take the initiative to improve the learning environment.

Coaching processes helps you to understand at a much deeper level how to be guided by yourself and help you to develop your own personal strategies for leading and succeeding as a school leader, we use “Rubaru” (face to face with self) methodology to create self-awareness for our clients.

There is no such thing as a “one size fits all” approach to learning and development, that is why we always personalise our coaching to meeting you where you are and tailor every session to focus on the issues and areas that matter most to your school leaders which includes your staff and students.

By addressing specific tendencies and behaviours that hold back a teacher’s performance, leadership coaching can turn a good teacher into an exceptionally good teacher. There may be times when a teacher knows that “something” is holding them back but can’t identify what it is.

A coach can provide something similar to a sports coach analysing a person’s golf swing, observing and learning which specific behaviours cause a good teacher to trip up or go off track.

Leadership coaching offers an outside perspective that can be a valuable addition to the more insider perspective a mentor offers. And improvements made through leadership coaching can make the mentoring relationship better as well.
