Coaching and mentoring can provide an effective way to manage and develop all members of staff within any organisation. It can be particularly effective for professional development, working with early career teachers, supporting colleagues who require improvement in practise, those with personal difficulties, and it can also provide a way to empower those who are conducting the coaching and mentoring.
