THE LEARNING COACH
Raising levels of motivation and aspiration
The Learning coach programme aims to increase motivation and confidence in a pupil’s perception of their own ability to learn and make success of their education.
Motivation increases when we see that what we contribute to is, valued and makes a difference.
Each session aims to increase an individual’s appetite to learn. Students end up with a learning profile mapping their intelligence, VAC style and preferred team role that will equip students to understand their behaviour and manage it successfully.
Session steps

Our Approach to learning
Structure tailored to your pupils and school needs:
Sessions can be structured hourly, half day or full day, each of these sessions will be designed to deliver specific learning outcomes and can be tailored to meet the individual needs of your group. Throughout each course we ensure that the experience and skills they acquire can be transferred back into their home, school or work environment.
