The Power of Coaching – GROW Model

NOTES

GROW is one of the most well used coaching models we have. It is so useful for simply gathering your thoughts and defining your own plan for self-development and ensuring that your role as a Cover Supervisor allows you to grow your own skills and build your confidence and abilities in the classroom.
