Book Description

Author Andy Vass's definition of coaching emphasises the process of learning. It's about helping people to uncover their own solutions rather than giving them advice, telling them what to do or solving problems for them. Whether you're coaching or being coached, the Coaching in Schools Pocketbook can help you to become 'even better' in your role. Find out how solution-focused tools like 'exceptions' and 'scaling' enable high quality, thoughtful dialogues and how becoming skilful at asking questions, listening and providing feedback can develop both coach and coachee. Andy's RIGAAR model for framing a coaching conversation shows, step by step, how to establish and achieve goals that lead to exciting and positive change. Whether you're an NQT, a Headteacher, or Middle Leader, you'll be inspired by examples from teachers and students describing, in their own words, how coaching has worked for them and for their schools, improving performance and raising attainment at every level. Coaching in Schools updates and replaces the Coaching & Reflecting Pocketbook.

Book Description

Any tool which helps people to become 'even better' and 'more consciously competent' in their roles is to be welcomed. So it's not surprising that coaching is now firmly established in schools. And because coaching centres around asking challenging and thought-provoking questions, coaching and reflecting are inextricably linked. Find out how tools such as the 'miracle question' and 'scaling' enable high quality, thoughtful dialogues and how learning to build rapport, to question, listen and give feedback can develop both coach and coachee. Hook, McPhail and Vass also talk you through goal-setting and explain how to develop solution-focused coaching in your own school. There are plenty of real teachers' experiences to inspire you. All this and a ground-breaking chapter on Reflective Practitioner Groups - groups of colleagues using structured formats or 'protocols' to facilitate discussion about teaching and learning. Exciting and innovative!

Book Description

Coaching skills are fundamentally about the quality of dialogues that happen at all levels of an organisation. Where coaching is part of a school’s ethos, performance improves and attainment is raised. The Coaching in Schools Pocketbook comprises a collection of highly practical skills and strategies that can be used by all educational professionals, regardless of role or status. The book begins by explaining the concept of solutions focused coaching. It describes a number of powerful tools that facilitate conversational shifts, moving people from: resistance to collaboration; anxiety to confidence; what’s wrong to what’s right; complaint to preferred future; limitation to possibility and potential. A key chapter on coaching skills looks at building trust and rapport, asking skilful questions, listening at different levels and offering supportive feedback. A coaching framework, developed and refined by the author over time, is provided. Further chapters cover goal-setting and developing coaching within a school. Illustrative case studies, along with cartoons, diagrams and other visually attractive presentational devices are used throughout to support the text and cement the meaning. Andy Vass is an internationally renowned educator and mentor who works with organisations and individuals to support improvement. Andy has coached more than 10,000 teachers from over 1,000 schools and draws on experience gained from 35 years in the field. Some of the content of this Pocketbook has been previously published in the Coaching & Reflecting Pocketbook, which this new title replaces.

Book Description

The inspirational bestseller that ignited a movement and asked us to find our WHY Discover the book that is captivating millions on TikTok and that served as the basis for one of the most popular TED Talks of all time—with more than 56 million views and counting. Over a decade ago, Simon Sinek started a movement that inspired millions to demand purpose at work, to ask what was the WHY of their organization. Since then, millions have been touched by the power of his ideas, and these ideas remain as relevant and timely as ever. START WITH WHY asks (and answers) the questions: why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their success over and over? People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers had little in common, but they all started with WHY. They realized that people won't truly buy into a product, service, movement, or idea until they understand the WHY behind it. START WITH WHY shows that the leaders who have had the greatest influence in the world all think, act and communicate the same way—and it's the opposite of what everyone else does. Sinek calls this powerful idea The Golden Circle, and it provides a framework upon which organizations can be built, movements can be led, and people can be inspired. And it all starts with WHY.

Book Description

We all know teachers who exude an air of authority the minute they walk into a room. Like magic, they command attention without a word being spoken. When they speak and interact they are engaging and compelling. Their classes are calm and focused, teacher and students work well together and behaviour is rarely a problem. How do they do it? Classroom presence is the effect created by your teacher persona. Drawing on material from the worlds of acting and improvisation, sports psychology and NLP this book demonstrates how to develop your persona and radiate presence. Learn about 'status techniques' and how to tap into a shared energy with your audience; master the triad of skills that create presence; work with your 'cultural architects', and see your classroom as a stage where voice, breathing, spatial awareness and costume all play a part. It's not magic, but with a few tricks up your sleeve you can transform the atmosphere, relationships and behaviour in your classes in just a short spell!
