Coaching for Success
This course has been awarded Professional recognition by the GTCS for all
participants who successfully complete the seven sessions and the assessment.
Aims:
To develop essential skills for non-directive coaching: questioning,
listening, summarising, feedback.
The application of non-directive coaching as a valuable tool for enhancing
the development of staff and colleagues and one’s own professional
development.
To assess and understand the impact of mental state upon performance.
To identify strengths and development areas of one's current leadership
style.
Content: A bank of skills which can be used in coaching will be provided as well as opportunities to observe and practise coaching conversations.
Who it is for? This course is for anyone who would like to develop their
knowledge and skills as a coach. This course is being delivered in partnership with East and Midlothian.
Participants who have attended this programme have said ………….
The Coaching for Success programme has been a hugely positive experience for
me this session. I have completed First and Next Steps to Leadership and they provided some coaching experience, but I wanted to develop my knowledge and
skills as a coach in a more practical way.
I learned a variety of different coaching tools that I am now using with staff,
through formal coaching sessions and informal coaching conversations. I am using a lot of my coaching knowledge and skills during PRD sessions this term
and have noticed a big difference in the flow and quality of conversations compared to last year.
I have particularly enjoyed the teaching sessions with our small group and it's
great that this includes staff from East Lothian Council and Midlothian Council. We have developed a very trusting relationship with each other and
everyone has felt supported throughout the programme. Primary Depute Head Teacher
Coaching for Success has given me the patience and the confidence to let
my silence and my listening do the heavy lifting. This provides colleagues and pupils the opportunity and the time to speak, understand and articulate their
issues and concerns as well as the space and authority to find realistic solutions that they have ownership of.
It has made me a more supportive and reflective colleague and teacher both in
'set-piece' coaching sessions but also in more informal 'corridor' conversations which has increased my knowledge and understanding of others. Coaching for
Success has provided me with a toolbox of strategies to employ but also a more flexible mind set to appreciate that there are times when a good leader needs to
let others lead themselves. This leads to a more engaged and dynamic classroom and department.
A brilliant opportunity to work and engage with colleagues from across Primary and Secondary sectors in a safe, supportive and stimulating environment.

Co-operative Learning for Teaching Staff 2018/2019
The Johnsons (1990) define Cooperative Learning as
“…the instructional use of small groups so that students work together to
maximise their own and each other’s learning.” A task is set where small structured small groups of between 2 and 4 pupils work through until they have
successfully understood and completed it. Being successful or unsuccessful depends on the entire group but each pupil is also individually accountable.
Academic goals within Cooperative Learning are always coupled by a supporting social skill and equal weighting is given to each.
Researched benefits of Cooperative Learning include higher attainment (including higher level reasoning, critical thinking skills, deeper understanding of material
and retention), improved relationships, personal and academic support, self-esteem and increased ability to cope with adversity and stress (resilience). Pupils
are more active participants in the learning process; they care about the class and material and are more personally engaged.
Cooperative Learning Consultants are able to offer a number of options to support
learning establishments to incorporate Cooperative Learning in to their learning and teaching.
During the 4 day (3 full days plus two half-day recall sessions), participants will:
• be introduced to the authentic and copyrighted ‘Johnson and Johnson model
of Cooperative Learning’, both the theory and how it translates in practice
• become familiar with the ‘Five Basic Elements’ which ensure that all group work is collaborative, powerful and active
• explore how Cooperative Learning benefits pupils in each phase of education • consider both the academic and social aspects of learning through practical
examples, facilitation and collaboration with colleagues • plan specific Cooperative Learning tasks and put them into practice when back
in school • consider how Cooperative Learning connects directly to reducing the
attainment gap and improving outcomes for children and young people • return for two half-day ‘Recall Sessions to share experiences and successes,
and to further deepen their understanding
Dates: Full Day Sessions: Fri 2nd, Sat 3rd & Fri 9th November 2018, 9.00-4.00
Recall Sessions: Fri 1st & Fri 15th March 2019 (1.00-4.00pm)
