Educator: this is where you develop - personally and professionally - even faster
C4E works with:
- Principals and Headteachers who are committed to the long-term and continuous care and development of their teaching staff
- Experienced teachers who seek to take a moment to review and revise how they work, to gain clarity of purpose and raise their energy and enthusiasm for the teaching profession
- Newly-qualified teachers who are looking for the most effective ways to learn from their ongoing teaching experiences.
What Educators are saying about C4E

Everyone needs a coach to ask those important and difficult questions. This has been extremely helpful to me in my effort to find my value base and priorities.
Highly recommended! John Steinberg, ex School Principal |

It was good to think aloud about my work situation.
The best part was getting a direction to think about and try out in between coaching sessions. I can absolutely recommend this coaching. Anne-Maj Olsson, Teacher |

Setting aside an hour a month has helped me to find the dynamic balance between my professional and private lives, working in a challenging, bilingual, pre-school environment.

Coaching is...
|
"Coaching is a collaborative, solution-focused, result-orientated and systematic process in which the coach facilitates the enhancement of work performance, life experience, self-directed learning and person growth of the coachee”
Coach Anthony M Grant |
"We train our coaches to create a relationship that supports the individual client at looking deeply at the different areas of their life and making choices that are based on what’s most fulfilling, rather than on what’s the most expedient or what others expect."
Karen Kimsey-House, CTI Founder Coaches Training Institute |
Benefits of Coaching
Between 2014 and 2018 approx 80 secondary and primary teachers in Sweden, were given individual coaching through the Swedish Education Authority, in a project funded by the European Social Fund.
Here are some of the results:
So, we know from coaching educators since 2014, that you will benefit enormously from pausing for a while and reflecting on what you are doing, the results you are getting and what you could do differently. We have seen first-hand how coaching encourages positive relationships between staff, students and administrators, and at the same time, deepens the learning for everyone.
In general, coaching increases focus, commitment and clarity of purpose at the same tme as reducing stress levels.
Here are some of the results:
- Coaching has given the teachers the opportunity to reflect, which affects their behaviour in lessons in a positive direction.
- Many teachers feel that the coaching has given them the opportunity to stop and think, what works and what does not. They have had the opportunity to test new ideas and find new solutions to problems.
- Coaching has helped teachers to put their previous learning into practice, i.e. earlier educational and training sessions have been developed and integrated into the lessons.
- Several teachers also mentioned that their perception of their students has changed and that they now more often assume that students are competent and able to take responsibility for their own learning and reach goals.
- Several teachers also said that they now more often use positive affirmations with their students.
- The teachers say that this coaching has helped them to organize and prioritize their work and focus on what's important.
