Abstract
Research Associate Full report, Spring 2011. "Within an education culture striving for continuous improvement, there is a constant need to ensure the
appropriate skills, knowledge and actions of staff match the changing needs of the system. Coaching can
assist in this process of ‘upskilling’.
This research study explored how a small cross-phase sample of eight schools in one local authority area
went about the process of creating a culture of coaching, the logistics of so doing, and the impact that this
had on professional development and pupil progress." - Page 3
