Úlohou učitele je předávat žákům znalosti a pomáhat jim rozvíjet určité dovednosti a schopnosti. Na druhou stranu má trenér za úkol podporovat a motivovat své svěřence tím, že jim naslouchá, klade jim otázky a staví před ně výzvy. Ačkoli se tyto role zdají odlišné, co kdyby učitel uplatnil principy koučování ve třídě a stal se tak také motivátorem?

This concept was fundamental during the new edition of the course “Emotional intelligence and coaching inside the school and educational context” that took place in Boloňa from 16/06/2024  to 22/06/2024. The participants came from all across Europe, with Mariska and Tanja from RGO Middelharnis in The Netherlands, Esther, Gervasio, Antonio and Joaquin from CEPER VALLE DE LECRIN in Spain, Marília, Cristina Maria, Cláudia, Soraia and Patrícia from Sicó Formação, SA in Portugal and participants coming from three different german schools: Julia and Claudia from Albert Einstein Gymnasium, Stefanie from Gymnasium am Europasportpark and Till from Gymnasium St. Raphael Heidelberg. 
Prvním tématem, které se v rámci kurzu probírali, bylo Emoční inteligence. This term indicates the ability to recognize not only our own feelings but also other people’s emotions, in order to be aware of ourselves and our surroundings. A teacher that is emotionally intelligent is capable of understanding its students’ emotions and therefore create a connection with them and help them in managing their feelings.

Koučování znamená motivující a ovlivňující aby se i ostatní mohli stát nejlepší verzí sebe samých. Chceme-li zdokonalit své dovednosti, je nutné naučit se stanovit si cíl, konkrétně Cíl SMART. Účastníci byli požádáni, aby si stanovili cíle podle principu SMART a řídili se pokyny, podle nichž mají být tyto cíle konkrétní, měřitelné, dosažitelné, realistické a časově ohraničené.

​Another coaching skill essential in every workplace, including a classroom, is the ability to manage conflict. In this context, self-awareness and control of our own emotions are fundamental to prevent a conflict from escalating. Conflicts don’t have to be negative; on the contrary, they can lead to growth and positive outcomes. A coach must help their students create a dialogue and support them in finding a solution to the problem. It is important to remember, however, that the coach’s role is not to suggest a solution but to guide the analysis of the conflict, the decision-making process, and the evaluation of their behavior.
Another topic tackled during this course was the power of questions. Questions can promote thinking and self-reflection, create constructive answers, motivate actions, and develop ideas. This is why participants explored the concept of building learning-focused questions by starting with an invitation to engage, proposing content to think about, and highlighting a cognitive focus for thinking and elaborating. The “Solution Focused Brief Coaching” model was also analyzed to promote a solution-based mindset in their students.

​This training week allowed the participants to share their common experiences and to learn from their different cultural backgrounds, while also improving their coaching skills and learning how to apply them in their classrooms.
