Student-Centered Coaching is about...

  • Knowing where our students are as learners

  • Working with teachers to close the gap

“The more that pressure and support become seamless, the more effective the change process will be at getting things to happen.”

We use the Results-Based Coaching Tool.

"Coaching is deliberate actions to help the adults to get the results from the students - often by helping teachers to interpret evidence about the effect of their actions, and providing them with choice to more effectively gain these effects."
(Hattie, 2012)
