“High-quality coaching in schools supports professional development, leadership sustainability and school improvement”
Niewerburgh, 2012
“Learning to be a coach or mentor is one of the most effective ways of enabling teachers and leaders to become good and excellent practitioners”

"Coaching in education is driven by a desire to make a difference to student learning. Coaching in education is important in the quest to ensure that there are sufficient future leaders in the system to secure succession”
Creasy & Paterson, 2005
The Coaching - Happiness and Well-being in schools course is the right support to any educational system which aims at boosting the learning experience for everyone in the organization by introducing educational coaching.
The importance of coaching in education has extended in recent years with a notable increase in coaching activities in this sector. The aim is to challenge students and educators to achieve more of their potential.
Bresser and Wilson (2010), define coaching as “empowering people by facilitating self-directed learning, personal growth and improved performance”. When it comes to the specific field of education, Niewerburgh (2012) defines educational coaching as "a one-to-one conversation focused on the enhancement of learning and development through increasing self-awareness and a sense of personal responsibility, where the coach facilitates the self-directed learning of the coachee through questioning, active listening, and appropriate challenge in a supportive and encouraging climate". According to him, two important matters, amongst other, accompany coaching in education: first, the importance of positive psychology and harnessing the energy and positive thinking within the organization and second, involvement of all actors of the educational community and enhancement of the learning experience for everyone: students, staff and parents. This course will show you how to do so!
During the course, you will learn about practical employment of several coaching approaches and get acquainted with different coaching models and tools which have been successfully used by schools. Additionally, the course will be an opportunity for school leaders and all other actors in the educational community to get to know the available tools for continuous improvement.
