What? No jargon? [...] It is said that there is nothing so practical as a good theory and here is an excellent example. Clear, punchy and instantly usable off the peg activities which address coaching using the STRIDE model. In addition a comprehensive question bank provides the scaffolding for the pragmatist, novice coach to pitch in and get going very quickly.

5/5 --Amazon reviewer

excellent resource 20 Mar 2010
Format:Spiral-bound
This book has been an incredibly valuable resource for me since I bought it a few years ago. It is full of practical and interesting exercises that are appropriate in many situations - for use with staff, senior management, and children, as well as for self reflection. It is extremely 'user friendly' and uses a variety of different approaches. There is enough theory in the book to explain the thinking behind the activities, but the activities can be used by anyone, even without this theoretical background, making it an excellent way to swiftly and effectively introduce and establish coaching in a school without it being seen as overwhelming. I would recommend this as an excellent resource for any school.

What? No jargon? 29 Oct 2007
Format:Spiral-bound
The tools and techniques provided in this thoughtfully constructed toolkit betray a grounding in the finer arts of neuro linguistic programming but thankfully not the jargon. It is said that there is nothing so practical as a good theory and here is an excellent example. Clear, punchy and instantly usable off the peg activities which address coaching using the STRIDE model. In addition a comprehensive question bank provides the scaffolding for the pragmatist, novice coach to pitch in and get going very quickly.
Whatever the active ingredients, the activities work with adults and youngsters alike and also there is enough accessible theory in the early part of the book in which to locate the thinking behind the tools.

This edition follows the excellent book `Coaching Solutions' and serves to provide practical methods for the application of coaching interventions for schools and academies. Will Thomas is an educator in the broadest sense. He does not just believe that knowledge sets you free but as all good coaches understand, that learning and personal-development generate well-being and success. This book drives at the heart of learning and personal development as it is applied to `teaching'. Coaching expands possibilities and potential, it resources students to understand responsibility and consequence, it empowers people to have dominion over their motivation, their aspirations and their vision.

This Resource Book embraces many of the thinking strategies for learning and personal development and structures them into practical exercises that educators can apply in the class-room. More than that, these are exercises that teachers will want to do themselves, for, like our students, we too have scope for more learning and personal development on our own journeys. I heartily recommend `Coaching Solutions' and `Coaching Solutions Resource Book' to educators everywhere. If you do not know this material and are not applying it, you are missing out on a superb opportunity to add-value to your student's well-being and education. More than that, you would be missing an opportunity to understand more about your own motivation, your own aspirations and the scope of what you may achieve using extra thinking and feeling strategies.
