Dear {tag_recipientfirstname}
How do the work-based conversations we have with others at school get to function as a form of professional learning? As someone who has a longstanding interest in how teachers learn in the workplace, Dr Kristine Needham considers this question in our feature article below.
Also in this edition, we share another two insightful video case studies: one from a Principal’s Network perspective, and the other from a NSW school which embeds a Solutions Focused (SF) approach into coaching. You can learn more about SF from our recent podcast which is shared again below for those who might not yet have had a chance to listen along.
Here at GCI we are thrilled to now have our Arabic programs up and running in the Middle East. The positive impact of coaching in education is gaining momentum in a variety of contexts, nationally as well as internationally.
In other news, we are awaiting the arrival in Australia of our new book, The Leader’s Guide to Coaching in Schools, co-written with Dr Christian van Nieuwerburgh. The book launch coincides with ACEL Conference in Sydney (4-6 Oct) and the International Coaching and Mentoring Conference at the University of Waikato in NZ (11-13 Oct). I’ll be at both events and would love to catch up with you at one or other of these conference events.
As usual, we hope you find this newsletter a useful read.
