National Forum Seminar 2021-22: Coaching and coaching approaches in higher education settings
Presented by Prof Christian van Nieuwerburgh, Global Director of Growth Coaching International & Professor of Coaching and Positive Psychology Centre for Positive Psychology and Health, RCSI.
This seminar provided participants with an opportunity to hear from a thought leader in the area of coaching in educational settings and to discuss coaching as it is can be applied in their own contexts. Through it, attendees gained insights into how coaching can contribute to student success through the structured development of learner agency and self-efficacy.
Christian shares his experience of applying coaching in educational settings across a number of countries and will introduce a Global Framework for Coaching in Education, developed alongside colleagues Jim Knight and John Campbell. The model centres students’ success and wellbeing through a range of activities aligned to themes such as Student Experience, Educational Leaderships, Community Engagement and Professional Practice.
