The evidence is solid – mentoring and coaching is the single most effective CPD approach for sustained improvement for students.
But the effectiveness of mentoring and coaching depends on a range of principles and skills being developed and strategically applied across the school supported by practical tools and resources. This needn’t be as challenging as it sounds. With tools targeted to meet a range of need you can ensure colleagues understand the underpinning rationale - so they can adapt to different needs and contexts.
Uniquely, CUREE's resources develop the skills of both parties (e.g. coach and ‘coachee’) so that everyone pulls their weight and the school gets maximum benefit. Our Effective Mentoring and Coaching resources provide an easily accessed, fully featured set of practical and engaging learning resources. Each pack can be used by individuals and groups without external support. If, like many schools, you really want to kick start the benefits, we can provide a CUREE expert to run an initial session and provide ongoing problem solving and support.
Specifically for Academies we can offer an amazing end of year deal. During March, for just £250 you can access the coaching duo of resources plus your choice of a third pack (co-coaching, whole school or mentoring resources).
