Traditionally, a\u00a0teacher<\/strong>\u2019s role is to transfer knowledge and help students to develop specific skills and abilities. In contrast, a\u00a0coach\u00a0<\/strong>supports and motivates his learners by actively listening, asking questions and challenging them to grow. At first, these roles may seem different\u2014but what if alongside educating\u00a0teachers they implement\u00a0coaching in their classrooms, becoming also a motivator and guide?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This concept was fundamental during the\u00a0new edition of the course \u201cEmotional intelligence and coaching inside the school and educational context\u201d that took place in Palermo from 27\/04\/2025 to 03\/05\/2025. The participants came from all across Europe, with Hilde Schotte, Magdalena Hedenborg, Sandra Imh\u00e4user Reiman and Susan J\u00e4german from\u00a0Ystad Gymnasium\u00a0<\/strong>in Sweden,\u00a0<\/strong>Zulfija Guzien\u0117, Ramun\u0117 Janu\u0161kien\u0117 and Irena Tamo\u0161aitien\u0117 from\u00a0\u0160iauli\u0173 sporto gimnazija<\/strong>\u00a0in Lithuania, Benedikt Weghorn and Philipp Stadelmann from\u00a0Markgraf-Georg-Friedrich-Realschule Heilsbronn<\/strong>\u00a0in Germany, Bernd Jankofsky from Landesinstitut Brandenburg f\u00fcr Schule und Lehrkr\u00e4ftebildung<\/strong>\u00a0in Germany, Sarah Arnefur and Maria Larsson from\u00a0Lillerudsgymnasiet AB<\/strong>\u00a0in Sweden, Isabel Maria Umbr\u00eda Rojas from\u00a0IES FUENTE NUEVA<\/strong>\u00a0in Spain and Sandra Brborovi\u0107 from\u00a0Aspira University of Applied Sciences\u00a0<\/strong>in Croatia.\u00a0<\/span>\u200b<\/div>\n
\u200bThe first topic covered in the course was\u00a0Emotional Intelligence<\/strong>. This concept refers to the ability to recognize and understand not only our own emotions but also those of others, creating greater self-awareness and social awareness. A teacher with strong emotional intelligence can perceive and respond to their students\u2019 emotional states, build meaningful connections, and support them in managing their feelings effectively.<\/div>\n

\u200bCoaching includes having an\u00a0influence<\/strong>\u00a0on others and\u00a0motivating\u00a0<\/strong>them\u00a0to become the best version of themselves. To improve our skills effectively, it\u00a0is important to learn how to set clear and structured goals\u2014specifically, SMART goals. During the course, participants were encouraged to set their own\u00a0SMART goals<\/strong>, ensuring they were\u00a0Specific,\u00a0Measurable,\u00a0Achievable,\u00a0Realistic, and\u00a0Time-bound.<\/div>\n
\u200bAnother essential coaching skill\u2014valuable in any workplace, including the classroom\u2014is the ability to\u00a0manage conflict\u00a0<\/strong>effectively. In such situations, self-awareness and emotional regulation are crucial to prevent conflicts from escalating. While often seen as negative, conflicts can actually lead to personal\u00a0growth\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0positive outcomes<\/strong>\u00a0when handled in the proper way. A coach’s role is to help students engage in dialogues and support them in finding their own solutions. It’s important to remember that a coach doesn\u2019t provide answers, instead, they\u00a0guide<\/strong>\u00a0students through analyzing the conflict, making decisions, and reflecting on their behavior.<\/div>\n

\u200bAnother key topic explored in the course was the\u00a0power of questions<\/strong>. Thoughtful questioning can stimulate critical thinking, encourage self-reflection, generate constructive responses, and inspire action and idea development. For this reason, participants were introduced to the concept of building\u00a0learning-focused questions<\/strong>, beginning with an invitation to engage, presenting content to consider, and emphasizing a specific cognitive focus for deeper thinking and elaboration. The course also introduced the\u00a0Solution-Focused Brief Coaching<\/strong>\u00a0model, aimed at fostering a solution-oriented mindset in students.<\/div>\n
During the week participants had the possibility to share their common experiences and to learn from their different cultural backgrounds. At the same time, they improved their coaching skills and found ways to apply them in their classrooms.\u00a0<\/span>\u200b<\/div>\n
