Saturday Workshop for Teachers – IH Milano

Project work, coaching techniques and 21st century skills: a magical mixture for students’ success.

When we think of the concept of teams and coaching, we tend to imagine a sports coach guiding some sort of sports team. But in a teaching context we find it difficult to envision the same dynamic linking the teacher and student as we do with coaches and athletes.

In this session we will take a look at what sets teams apart from traditional groups of students. Participants will learn about the unique elements of a team as well as team competency development and techniques. We will also explore how project management can help the team develop their 21st century skills, from how to design the initial team planning process to teamwork assessment.

We will investigate various coaching techniques to nurture relationships among team members and to enhance  their learning process when working on projects. We will explore how to:

• enable the team to deliver on their purpose and strategy,
• recognise the difference between single and collective leadership,
• coach the team to become an effective learning team.

Participants will have the opportunity to practice the techniques proposed during the webinar so that they will be able to use them in their classes after the event.
