The Role of Coaching in Vocational Education and Training

CoverThe first of the new 'Insight' series from the Centre for Skills Development at City & Guilds, this publication focuses on the practice and theory of coaching in vocation settings. It features a number of chapters by different authors and an introduction and overview by Kathleen Collett of CDC. Chapter Two,written by staff at CUREE, draws together material from interviews of 17 'users' of coaching in educational and work settings and from the massive research evidence analysed by CUREE over 15 years. The chapter concludes with some suggestions for FE practitioners about how the findings might be put to practical use.

Other chapters examine coaching and pedagogy, coaching and assessment, coaching in support of high level vocational skills and coaching in teacher education.

SKEIN FE

CUREE, in collaboration with 157 Group  (now the Collab Group) and supported by LSIS, piloted a system for evaluating and fine tuning these processes in FE colleges. Based in international research and already proven in schools, the SKEIN FE service was co-developed with Derby College, piloted in York and Cornwall Colleges and tested in collaboration with many other 157 Group members. The fully adapted service is available to colleges.
