About this session
We know, from our own experience, that it is more empowering if we can do things for ourselves. We also instinctively know that it is better, when we are working with a student, if we can help that student to rely on their own resources to solve a particular problem or address a particular issue, rather than us just swooping in and solving things for the student. This practical 2-hour online session will explore ways in which we can help students rely less on us and more on themselves - a really important life skill.
Who is this session for?
This session is relevant to teams and cohorts who work with students in higher education and who might find themselves providing a student with support.
This includes:
-
Academic colleagues - such as personal tutors, module leaders, and lecturers
-
Professional services practitioners - such as disability advisers, welfare advisers, finance advisers, or international student advisers
-
Colleagues working in a university enquiry service, a faculty or service front desk team, or a university helpdesk
-
Accommodation staff
-
Security officers
-
Colleagues managing student conduct cases
-
Managers of student-facing teams who may need to support their team members in interactions with students
-
Students' union advisers
While this training is aimed at higher education, colleagues in further education or other similar settings will also find the content very relevant.
Learning outcomes
By the end of this course, participants will:
-
Explore what coaching is, how it differs from other types of work we might do to support a student, and why a coaching style can be so effective
-
Understand the GROW coaching model and how to frame effective coaching questions
-
Use a couple of case studies to reflect on what coaching looks like in practice.
