Coaching in Education: Getting Better Results for Students, Educators
and Parents will support educational organisations in learning more
about the current interest in coaching approaches within schools,
colleges and universities. With chapters on coaching in primary schools
and secondary schools, with students, staff and parents, this book
provides a sound basis for introducing coaching into any educational
setting. This book brings together the latest national and international
academic research with real case studies and a focus on practice that
makes a difference for learners. Starting with a review of the existing
literature and research into the area of coaching in education, the book
goes on to consider the role of coaching educational leaders, coaching
within the primary school setting and then secondary school settings.
The notion of "mental toughness" and its relationship to coaching is
also explored. The US and Australian perspectives on coaching in
education are discussed in two chapters written by leading experts -
instructional coaching in the US and the integration of positive and
coaching psychology in Australia.
