​Instructional coaching can be a transformational way to create a positive, empowering culture of improvement with sustained impact on teachers' professional development and job satisfaction, and students' motivation and outcome. Instructional coaching is fast becoming recognised as the most effective form of teacher professional development to improve outcomes for the most disadvantaged students in our schools. 

Having coached and led coaching for Teaching and Learning in schools for over 15 years, I now offer: 

• bespoke training and workshops on instructional coaching methodology including the TEACH* and LEARN* models for coaching conversations

• coaching and/or mentoring on design and implementation in your school context 

• ongoing support for coach training and quality assurance​

The system and models I have developed over 15 years of coaching around Teaching and Learning in schools are based on research-driven theories of coaching and andragogy and do not require any on-going subscriptions or investment.

As an experienced Instructional Coach and facilitator I can provide developmental, restorative and qualitative supervision to school leaders and practising instructional coaches. The importance of supervision in coaching is unequivocal and undertaking supervision and ongoing professional development is best practice for anyone in a coaching role.

Curriculum Leaders for Modern Languages are facing unprecedented challenges and uncertainties. Coaching can help them unlock how to lead their teams with vision and clarity. I also offer mentoring and training for strategic curriculum design and implementation, incorporating research driven techniques from all current areas of second languages research (including EPI and NCELP).

In 20 years of teaching languages, I have I have been Lead Practitioner for MFL and Curriculum Leader of two successful language departments in different schools. I have also worked for exam boards regionally and nationally as a MFL trainer. I have significant experience in leading and implementing curriculum design and MFL pedagogy with positive progress outcomes for students. Since the early days of my teaching career I have shared my work through delivering bespoke training and workshops for languages departments, regional networks and MATs.
