Professional one-on-one coaching for teachers and school leaders

Transformational Educator Coaching

Schools are busy, challenging and complex places to work. The demands on classroom teachers and school leaders are vast. More than ever before, educators require an ever-evolving toolkit of strategies to not only meet the needs of their students but also to ensure they have the support and encouragement necessary to thrive in their chosen profession.

Educator coaching provides much-needed time and space for teachers and leaders to deeply reflect on their practice, relationships and professional goal-setting. Coaching is suitable for all educators, wherever they are in their careers. My sessions are flexible and differentiated to meet your specific needs.

Consider educator coaching as part of your professional development strategy if you are seeking…

  • Professional goal-setting, strategy and accountability

  • Enhanced workplace relationships and improved communication strategies

  • Improved executive functioning and time management skills

  • Identification of personal and professional strengths and how these can best be used in the workplace

  • Opportunities to create a personal well-being plan to better support and enhance work/life balance

  • Development of personal and professional capabilities such as teamwork, emotional regulation and interpersonal skills

  • Assistance with managing a specific project or action plan

  • Frameworks that support professional inquiry and growth cycles

  • Development of a positive psychology toolkit - resilience, choice theory and burnout prevention

  • Ignite or reignite a passion and positivity for teaching and learning
