Presenters have provided academic coaching, a powerful form of support in higher education, for over a decade, and have trained university professionals on this method of student support. This session will train participants in the fundamental principles of academic coaching and guide them to implement training for their staff.
The Pre-Conference Institute will be based on two successful training programs developed by The [University name redacted]’s learning center over the last three years: our coach approach training delivered to over 175 faculty and staff, and our academic coaching training week delivered annually to graduate student academic coaches.
This Pre-Conference Institute will be delivered interactively, mixing digital presentations of academic coaching with frequent discussion, live demonstrations, and participant interaction including practice of coaching skills and design of professional development plans.
