Editor's Notes

  1. Say something like, 'I was in a friend's car while we did the school run with his children. One of his children is four years old and is trying to learn to do up her own seat belt. I watched as she struggled to put it on. I was about to help, when my friend sensed this and stopped me. His daughter took another two minutes but was eventually successful. When I asked him afterwards why he let her struggle so, especially as we were running late, he told me that she had to learn sometime and it did not make it okay to rob her of that, just because we were under time pressure.‘ 'This is exactly what coaching is like. Part of your role as a coach/manager is to let people struggle a bit so that they can learn on their own. It is particularly important, when work is so busy, to remind yourself that if you don't allow time now for them to learn, will any other time really be that much better? Today's course will help with some of those common coaching dilemmas.‘ Given the increasing trend for pupils to take responsibility for their own learning, it would be surprising if professional development for the adults in schools did not place a similar emphasis on self-direction. There is also a fast-growing appreciation of the power of effective individualised support in the form of coaching or mentoring, and for collaborative forms of learning. Indeed, the value placed on such learning relationships by school leaders and teachers at all stages of their careers has led to the integration of coaching, mentoring and collaborative learning within many professional development programmes, from initial teacher training to headship preparation and leadership development.
