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.
