Developing A Coaching Culture in Schools
As an Associate Coach for Leadership Edge, I work with the wonderful Jan Rudge who has created the Leadership Edge 3 Tier Accreditation Programme.
This system supports staff in schools to learn about coaching, develop their coaching skills and work with their colleagues to build a strong and systematic coaching culture through the whole school as skills are honed and cascaded.
Jan and our team are passionate about ‘Pure Coaching’; Jan has even written a book all about it – it’s a great read!
