Infos

Coaching has become mainstream in today's society. You can hire a coach for sports training, sorting out your finances, making career decisions or in relationships. Why then, don't we have more coaching in education? Linda Hopper took her 20 years of experience in business and coaching into the classroom to figure out how any teacher desiring more empowerment for students and teachers could become a teacher/coach. Knowing that teachers have precious little time, Linda shares how she used Lesson Bites (mini lessons) in as little as 20 to 50 minutes a week to coach middle and high school students, integrating principles of positive psychology and social emotional learning. With a change in focus, teacher/coaches empower students with the mindsets, tools, and strategies to design a more meaningful life of well-being, bringing more relevance to learning in the classroom. Despite being outdated, the education system today still uses a one-size-fitsallapproach to learning that expects all students learn the same way and thenevaluates progress only through standardized testing. The good news is thatteachers have the power to mitigate this obsolete method. Through coaching,educators can help students and themselves design lives that bring more joy, acreative use of abilities and strengths, and greater freedom from stress. Linda Hopper, PhD, relies on over three decades of experience in business,education, coaching, and as a parent to share insights into how the empowermentmethod of coaching fits into education and why teachers need to coach emotionsfirst, followed by information about the three key areas of personal developmentfor students, lesson bites from her toolbox, and other resources that help educatorscoach students to attain better well-being. Through her guidance, teachers willlearn how to shift their perspective and empower students with the mindsets,tools, and strategies to create a life of purpose and meaning while bringingmore relevance to learning in the classroom. In this practical guide, an experienced educator, coach, and parent offers waysto bring a greater awareness of well-being into the classroom through coachingthat benefits both teachers and students.
