About this course

A growing number of schools are beginning to use coaching techniques with their students in order to boost well-being, as well as academic performance. Framing feedback through coaching gives students ownership of their learning and empowers them in their own development. Training students as coaches also has a positive effect on both the students doing the coaching and those they coach.
