HELPING LEARNERS TO LEARN

Coaching has an important role to play in helping learners to learn. As mentioned previously it is one of the most naturally supportive ways of enabling others to learn. There are so many ways in which you can develop your own skill set to enable you to help others. The very nature of coaching is based on the traditional ways that people have always learnt. There are the underpinning skills of effective communication, observing, questioning, listening and giving feedback, but now there is also a range of other techniques including online learning, which provide a richness and depth of knowledge that was not possible with some traditional methods.

As you grow in knowledge you can help learners to take the steps along their road to fulfilling their potential, and everyone involved in supporting learners should be aspiring to match the learning to the learning style. What a coaching culture provides us with is the opportunity to review very carefully our learning provision.
