Coaching the Early Career Teacher – Going beyond mentoring

This course is delivered as a live webinar.

How will this course benefit you?

This event looks at how coaching, in particular Instructional Coaching can have a transformational effect on performance for the aspiring, early career or recently qualified teacher.

We look in detail at the Early Careers Framework and how this in synergy with the Teachers’ Standards provides a foundation for high quality teacher development in the early stages of their career.

We show how developing coaching skills provides a superb framework for mentors to slowly develop in their mentees self-confidence, resilience and reflection that leads to excellence in pedagogy and learning.

What will be covered in the course?

  • Provide those who mentor with the coaching skills to support their ECTs towards self-improvement and guide them towards setting their own learning goals and targets
  • Reflect on the differences between mentoring and coaching and how moving from a mentoring role to a coaching role will impact on building confidence and managing change
  • Focus on the qualities of a successful teacher and how mentors can influence their mentees to consistently deliver high-quality pedagogy that has an impact on learning 
  • Examine the principles of learning in relation to the recent emphasis on the curriculum and how it is planned and delivered across all subjects and phases
  • Build in a review of how formative assessment can be aligned to coaching skills and support high levels of challenge for pupils from across the learning spectrum

Who is this course for?

  • Mentors and aspiring mentors with responsibility for teaching and learning and the mentoring of early career 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, early career or trainee teachers and those who are part of a drive to embed a coaching culture across the whole school
