LBU report shows coaching helps head teachers to stay in role
A report by Leeds Beckett University researchers has called on the Government to support overwhelmed headteachers to address a crisis in the nation’s schools.
The new report is the first of its kind to explore the relationship between coaching, wellbeing and leadership effectiveness amongst senior school leaders. Researchers evaluated a year-long project by Integrity Coaching that provided one-to-one support for heads.
They found the coaching programme helped heads cope with their increasingly demanding roles, which were having a significant effect on their wellbeing, work-life balance and capacity to drive school improvement.
