Coaching in education: an invitation to the conversation

CollectivED invites you to explore the ways that coaching can create educational change across a wide range of settings. We believe that coaching can bring ideas and talents into focus, can disentangle dilemmas, can weave together research and practice, and can create positive momentum for change. We invite you to engage with the evidence base, to learn about a range of professional development practices and to consider the potential impacts of coaching. 

As part of a journey to co-authoring a new book on coaching three members of the CollectivED community contributed four webinars for the 2023 GCI Coaching in Education conference.  These webinars have now been edited and are ready for a wider audience.  They are co-presented by Professor Rachel Lofthouse, Jasen Booton and Dr Trista Hollweck.  The webinars draw on coaching use, coaching research and coaching network development from four continents. They explore the role of coaching in school improvement, in pedagogic development and in creating enabling conversations which create conditions for inclusion, creativity and representation.  

We invite you to sign up to view these webinars. We hope that they help you to start and continue conversations; as coaches, as teachers, as leaders, as decision-makers and as researchers. Like the most engaging conversations we encounter we hope that these webinars offer experiences of connection, provide new insights and provocations, allow a sharing of perspectives, create opportunities for affirmation and help to refine focus or generate ideas that have impact. They are not a training course, but they might help you to reflect on your current experiences of coaching and perhaps help you to navigate some future coaching pathways.
