Strategy
Most other coaching and training programmes typically rely on single coach–coachee or mentor-mentee matches and can sometimes be quite formal and hierarchical. However, current research evidence shows that many employees – prefer coaching/mentorship which is more reciprocal and mutual in character. Single mentors or coaches are less development-enhancing than robust developmental networks or coaching/mentoring ‘constellations’.
GCLA’s Three Fold Strategy:
-
One-on-one, more formal coaching, generally with a senior or more experienced coach, assisted the growth and development of educators,
-
Learning to be a coach and practising the skills and dispositions of coaching in their work contexts that had the most impact on educators.
-
A third learning loop of assisting others to develop coaching skills and dispositions. Thus, further reinforces and embeds the learning, and assists the development of a team coaching and collaborative culture.
