Coaching Wheel for reflection and self-evaluation against the Standards
Coaching Wheels are valuable tools for supporting self-evaluation, exploring current reality and helping you to critically reflect on yourself as a professional and your practice.
When used as part of the PRD process coaching wheels enable you as the reviewee and your reviewer to:
- Reflect on what you have done
- Think about what you might do next
- Consider your own progress and development
- Deeply understand your professional practice, your professional learning and the impact of this on your thinking, professional actions, those you work with/support and the pupils and their learning
Coaching wheels help create clarity about the areas of the Standard you wish to focus on, and to perform a simple gap analysis about where you are is now, and where you would like to be. You may use this independently or as part of a structured coaching discussion at your PRD meeting.
Select the wheel relevant to the Standard(s) or key aspects of the Standard(s) you would like to focus on:
- Values Self-evaluation Wheel_Values
- Standard for Full Registration Self-evaluation Wheel_Standard for Full Registration
- Standard for CLPL Self-evaluation Wheel_Professional Actions in Career-Long Professional Learning
- Standard for Sustainability Self-evaluation Wheel_Learning for Sustainability
- Standard for Middle Leaders and Managers Self-evaluation Wheel_Professional Actions of Middle Managers (2)
There are currently three in-house coaching programmes available; Having a Coaching Conversation, Coaching for Success and Coaching Masterclass. For more information click on the highlighted links.
