‘Solutions Focused Coaching for Students’

UK Pilot Online Course 2019

A partnership between Dr. Geoffrey James of Action Against Exclusion and Nick Burnett of Next Level Greatness

Why take the course?

Managing the behaviour of some children and young people can be difficult, time-consuming and ultimately self-defeating if the last resort is exclusion or the individual needs of a child are marginalsied.

Is there anything better, faster and more effective in strengthening children’s engagement and success in school than the reward and punishment regime, that we can do instead?

Solutions Focused Coaching can provide the simple and effective alternative.

This online course on Solutions Focused Coaching for Students enables staff to develop the skills and knowledge to effectively support students who struggle to match school’s behavioural, social and emotional expectations fills the gap between low-level consequences and top-level sanctions.

As an educational approach delivered by school staff SF Coaching for Students will
demonstrate improved outcomes in terms of children and young peoples’ mental health,

wellbeing and social and emotional learning and consequent engagement and achievement

in school.
