Coaching & Consulting
We help school leaders merge the latest research from positive psychology, appreciative inquiry, and systems change into practical actions that empower teachers and whole school communities.
Wellbeing conversations are at the forefront of conversations in schools but HOW can school leaders create transformative change and WHERE do they start?
Teachers and school executives often want to improve their wellbeing programs, including that of staff and student wellbeing but often feel overwhelmed with where to start. Given the busy nature of schools and teachers sometimes operating as silos, it is important that schools be more strategic in developing a whole school approach to wellbeing. Let us make it easier for you with a structured process that acknowledges the realities of change.
We offer;
- impartial, independent, confidential support for leaders as they drive change.
- expert advice about best-practice based on both research and what works in other schools.
- frameworks and processes for inquiry, reflection, measurement and celebration.
- The foundation of our consulting lies in Appreciative Inquiry;
Discover
what is already working well with wellbeing at school including individual strengths of staff
Dream
a vision of wellbeing that relates to the schools mission & values
Design
and plan for improvements based on what the evidence says
Deliver
actions that are measurable and reflected upon in an action research model of development
