CUREE has brought coaching experience and resources to support the 14-19 Workforce Support programme*. We crafted and tailored a selection of the powerful Effective Mentoring and Coaching resources, specifically contextualised for 14-19 provision including new animations of learning conversations and a set of tools and techniques that make specialist and collaborative coaching effective.
For use by 14-19 providers as a way of embedding and sustaining partnership working and applied learning, the tool kit, called Connecting Up*, offers resources that help to ensure that the benefits of coaching skills and techniques feed through into student success.
Focussed on ways of planning for and getting the most out of learning conversations, linking practitioner learning and student learning and the benefits of collaborative coaching, the tools offer all the basics which can be readily integrated into day to day practice.
Training was provided for a specialist team at SSAT to use mentoring and coaching skills and techniques in 14-19 development work and if schools and colleges are interested in taking coaching further in their organisation, in building a practitioners learning and/or coaching culture then contact Gillian Spence to take advantage of the special discounted prices available on the full range of CUREE resources.
