Coaching and Mentoring in Education*

This module will benefit you and your setting in a wide variety of ways. Over the duration of the course, you will:

• Develop detailed knowledge of a range of common coaching models that can be applied across your setting
• Increase credibility and build confidence by understanding theoretical perspectives and ethical considerations, enabling you to assess potential costs, challenges and barriers for interventions or developments
• Mentor and/or coach colleagues using an inclusive and collaborative, solution focused, results orientated systematic process, to develop their capabilities and achieve their goals
• Unlock your personal and professional potential by building a development plan for your setting including your leadership role, colleague engagement, first steps and longer term goals

• Our courses are delivered through Campus Online, our unique provision for online learning.
• Campus Online allows you to study at your own pace, without the need to travel, or commit to particular dates or times. Log in to access your study materials, contact your personal tutor for support, connect and network with other delegates and make use of the extensive resource library.
• You can easily track your progress throughout the course and submit your work and evidence of assignments for feedback.

Your assessments will consist of the following:

• Self evaluation questionnaires for you to check your knowledge and understanding throughout the module
• Submission of prepared materials as part of practice activities
• Three assessed tasks:
  • Critical analysis task (2,000 words). An critical outline of the theory behind at least three models of coaching and mentoring and an analysis of two models of learning theory in relation to your working environment
  • Practical analysis (2,000 words). This assignment requires that you gather information on your own or others’ practice in your setting, to review the basis of that practice and to critique it in the light of available theory.
  • Reflective analysis (2,000 words). Draft an outline development plan for your setting including your leadership role, colleague engagement, first steps and longer term goals. Provide a rationale for your suggestions and support the assertions you make with evidence. Carry out at least 3 coaching sessions in a chosen method and critically reflect on your learning.

• You will need to hold an undergraduate degree.

• You will need to be working in an educational setting for this module. If you aren’t currently working in an educational setting you will need written permission from a senior member of staff to regularly access a setting.
