"In Performance Management I model coaching skills and knowledge at all stages of the PM cycle. I explain the function and purpose of coaching and encourage colleagues to develop coaching as a learning and improvement tool. I have found this to be a powerful and important addition to the PM process. It has made the process of reviewing progress and setting new PM tools more meaningful and real."

“Developing coaching skills for all our staff, as a framework for professional conversations, is a School Improvement Plan leadership priority next year. I would like the senior members of staff to attend a 2-day Introduction to Coaching so that we are all well informed about the benefits (and any problems). I believe this will be an important part of our school’s professional development over the coming years."
David Pearmain, Head Teacher, Kenton School, Newcastle-upon-Tyne
“I see coaching as a crucial tool for personal and professional development and for working with individuals. It develops leadership at all levels – tapping into individual potential of each member of your team. The fact that you’ve got more motivated staff with better developed skills means the knock-on effect is in quality and emotional engagement – and in better learning, Teachers are leaders too so they can use some of the skills in relating with young people directly.”
Ian Lane, Senior School Improvement Advisor, Local Authority, Newcastle upon Tyne
