Goals - by Dec 2019

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

Twenty more C4E coaches will have had a powerful and positive impact on the ongoing evolution of the education system, deepened their experience of coaching, and widened their coaching portfolio.

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 with Martin Richards, 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 6 months, at no cost
  • The generous offering of time and energy from C4E Coaches allows C4E to provide a range of services to large numbers of educators and education staff at minimal cost
  • C4E also provides inspiration, information and encouragement to the coaches who provide coaching and support to educators
C4E offers additional education and training services to coaches and educators. The proceeds from the additional services are earmarked for C4E site maintenance and C4E coach supervision.
​C4E collaborates across countries. We coach school administrators, head teachers, subject teachers and class teachers in Europe, Scandinavia and America. We demonstrate the breadth, depth and effectiveness of coaching for personal and professional development. We train educators in coaching skills and tools. Educators integrate a coaching approach as a natural part of motivating their students towards successful, meaningful and fulfilling lives. We continue to support educators as they develop their coaching skills and increasingly apply them in coaching conversations with colleagues, students and parents... and with themselves.
