C4E Background, the People, our Aims, Goals and Strategy

Since 2014, when C4E was launched at the ICF Conference in Malmö, Sweden, many coaches have joined and offered to coach educators. This is our gallery in sincere acknowledgement and deep gratitude for their offer and services from 2014 to 2018. Thank you.
"This is the kind of support I longed for when I was a teacher, so I created it." Martin Richards, founder of C4E
​Coaches who volunteered 2014 - 2018

C4E aims to provide educational organisations with easy access to professional, certified coaches who volunteer their time to coach educators free of charge.

We provide certified coaches with ​sustainable ways of:

  • Contributing to the ongoing evolution of the education system in a respectful, creative and effective way
  • Offering mutual support online, a library of coaching tools, access to coach training materials
  • Creating better learning conditions for students and young learners
  • Demonstrating how our different coaching competencies are relevant to the world of education
  • Building and maintaining professional connections across the globe, and
  • Fostering a 'caring coach' brand.
We provide educational organisations with an innovative way of:
​
  • Supporting the well-being and professional growth of educators
  • Introducing educators to the full range of coaching
  • Sustaining a coaching culture in the organisation
  • Discovering what coaching has to offer educators whilst keeping within the confines of the school budget
  • Accelerating the ongoing evolution of the education system in a respectful, creative and effective way.

Goals for 2019

One hundred Educators will have experienced professional coaching, gained the benefits of being coached and be better informed regarding using coaching in their school.

Fifty C4E Coaches will have had a powerful and positive impact on the ongoing evolution of the education system.

Strategy

  • C4E will connect coaches and educators in confidential coaching realtionships, which are then measured for the results they achieved
  • Coaches apply (here) and after an interview, have their profiles published on the "Coaching for Educators" website
  • Educators request coaching (here). Their request is reviewed and matched with a coach, particularly regarding language and location
  • C4E coaches provide each educator with a series of 4 coaching sessions over a period of 2 months, at no cost
  • C4E also provides inspiration, information and encouragement to the coaches who provide coaching and support to educators.
C4E is a non-profit organisation that co-ordinates professional coaches' offers of probono coaching in support of Educators
