Programme's Description:

This programme shows that peer coaching can be introduced in a non-hierarchical way, enabling everyone to experience non-judgemental coaching conversations that help them own their own personal and professional development. Once this is introduced to staff, you’ll immediately see the benefits as more collaboration, self-awareness and self-efficacy permeate staffroom and classroom conversations.
