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, and the documents are important for this, so we’re going to use software to read PDFs, such as sodapdf which is great for this.

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.
