Enhancing Performance, Development & Wellbeing in Schools with Coaching & Coaching Psychology
1, 2 or 3 days of training in coaching and coaching psychology principles and skills for education practitioners.
|
Applied in educational contexts, the practice of coaching psychology can have a positive impact by supporting young people and adults to achieve enhanced standards of functioning and wellbeing.
However, coaching psychology is not just for psychologists - the principles and techniques can be readily learned and applied by education practitioners themselves. APS is now offering teams and organizations the opportunity to commission 1, 2 or 3 days of training in coaching and coaching psychology skills and principles. We will travel to your preferred location and deliver a programme of coaching training that is designed to meet the needs of your team or group (see below for a sample programme). If desired, you can market the training to other practitioners in your area to help cover costs. |
The training is suitable for education practitioners, psychologists, coaches, mentors, consultants, leaders and managers. Basically, anyone who works in education with an interest or investment in helping others to change & develop.
