This podcast is dedicated to the memory of Edgar Schein, a former professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management and author of ‘Process Consultation’ who sadly died four days before this podcast was recorded.  He made notable contributions in the field of organizational development in many areas, including career development, group process consultation, and organizational culture.  Professor Schein’s influence has extended into many other ‘helping’ domains, including Educational Psychology and Coaching Psychology.  His valued legacy will live on, while we send condolences to his family and loved ones. In this episode, Dr Natalie Lancer discusses with Mark Adams, Prof. Christian van Nieuwerburgh and Dr. Manfusa Shams how coaching benefits students and staff alike. We highlight the two streams of practice in coaching in education, one involving educators using coaching tools and models from an educational perspective, and the other involving coaching psychologists using psychological knowledge to support individuals. We discuss the specific ways in which coaching psychology can make a positive difference in schools and education. We explore: Why is coaching psychology in education important? What do we know about coaching in education today? What impact can coaching have on students and teachers? How does coaching psychology interface with educational psychology? To what extent is grounding coaching practice in appropriate theories and models important? What are the key considerations in making coaching initiatives successful in schools? How do the different methods of delivery (external/internal coaches, peer-to-peer) affect coaching outcomes? How can coaching psychology help build capacity within school communities? What is the value of reflective coaching spaces for leaders in schools? What are some key current priorities for research and the application of coaching psychology in education? There are a growing number of pathways into coaching in education and a variety of ways that coaching initiatives can be implements in schools. Coaching in education can also be used to help address mental health and well-being issues in schools and we discuss its future potential uses in this context.
