Coaching and Counselling for School Staff

Coaching and Counselling for School Staff.

Teaching and working in schools is one of the most demanding of jobs in our modern society. It is full of pressure and complications from a variety of sources. Many of these pressures appear to come from sources outside the main role of teaching the pupils, which make them an added burden or source of stress. As you continue to work in schools, so you have to face all these pressures and demands. Many staff find it increasingly difficult to cope and to continue to deliver their best for the benefit of the pupils. Consequently many staff find themselves in need of support or reluctantly consider leaving their chosen profession.

Yet teaching is also one of the most rewarding and worthwhile of jobs in our society. It is also one of the most important particularly for the benefit and future of our children.

Coaching and Counselling for School Staff is being offered exclusively for people working in schools. Its purpose is to help staff cope with the pressures and demands made upon them. It is also intended to help staff to continue offering their best to their pupils and to gain or increase the satisfaction they gain from their chosen career.

The service is particularly useful for staff at various times of their work or career;

Newly Qualified Teachers getting to terms with the demands of their new career,

Staff preparing, going through or facing the aftermath of inspection or audit,

A newly appointed Head or promoted teacher taking on a new role,

Staff facing disciplinary charges or investigation,

Staff who face abuse or assault,

Coping with the demands of paperwork,

Coming to terms with new technology,

Seeking promotion or a new position,

The effects of the job upon social life or relationships,

The service is designed to support individual members of staff or, through workshops, to support a school staff as a whole.

The service is provided mostly by short telephone sessions that can be held during the day or in the early morning to take advantage of non-contact, PPA time or time when pupils are not present. It is also possible to provide introductory or taster sessions through INSET or twilight workshops.

Staff using the service have the advantage that I am a qualified teacher and have spent over 20 years in schools. Consequently I have experience of many of the issues facing staff.

Workshops for School Staff

Two workshops sessions are available separately for the Coaching and Counselling for School Staff service. These are offered to schools.

An introductory workshop is offered free of charge to schools. This is usually delivered during staff meeting or twilight hours. The introductory workshop will introduce staff to the service and demonstrate how it can be of use to them in helping to manage daily life and workload demands.

A half-day workshop is also offered to schools and can be used to form part of an INSET training day for staff. The half day course will introduce the staff to the service, demonstrate how it can be of use in helping manage daily life and workload demands, it will also allow the staff time and opportunities to take part in exercises to demonstrate the benefits of coaching or counselling for staff.

If you are interested in arranging for either an introductory workshop or a half-day workshop for staff at a school, please use the email address above or the contact form and please state in your message which type of workshop you would like.
