Coaching Presence: Understanding the Power of the Non-Verbal Relationshi p - Tunde Erdoes - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

Coaching Presence: Understanding the Power of the Non-Verbal Relationshi p - Tunde Erdoes - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

Professional wisdom has suggested that coaching presence is purely about the coach – how they show up in the room, and what they say and do to support clients to reach their goals. But what if it was about the relational dynamics between the coach and client at an unspoken level? In this book, Tünde Erdös demystifies the power of the non-verbal coaching relationship. Put simply, the body does not lie. Using research from 184 videoed coach-client pairs and exploring their spontaneous interactions at a non-verbal level, we deepen our understanding of how clients navigate uncertainties (including in the coaching room) and how coaches can truly partner with clients to facilitate their goal attainment beyond traditional coaching. This book also reveals that a coach’s full-body presence can sometimes hinder learning and prevent progress towards a goal. Tünde Erdös guides the reader through Integrative Presence, where you will learn how to: • Build awareness of your state of presence • Identify potential coaching blind spots • Recognise when your needs block presence • Practice integrative presence in coaching • Foster effective coaching partnerships An excellent example of how coaching practice has informed research and with a foreword from Erik De Haan, this book will help anyone looking to enhance their coaching effectiveness through closer partnering with clients. "This book includes many high-quality and universal components to help professional coaches to make valuable progress." Patrick Delamaire, co-developer of the Global Executive Coaching Program at HEC Paris "WBECS is delighted to have been able to help support Tunde in her research to complete this valuable work on the importance of presence in the coaching experience."

Using Client Feedback in Executive Coaching Improving Reflective Practice - Helene Seiler - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

Using Client Feedback in Executive Coaching Improving Reflective Practice - Helene Seiler - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

More and more coaches are becoming credentialed and regularly engage in training and supervision to gain feedback and learn from their peers. Coaches (and the organisations that hire them) recognise the value of continuous professional development and reflective practice to give them a competitive edge. Yet very few leverage their own clients as a source of information in their professional development, despite the fact that clients spend more time observing and experiencing them in practice than all other observers combined. This book will help you make the most of this untapped resource. Applicable to executive coaches worldwide, as well as their educators and supervisors, this book will:• Highlight effective executive coaching behaviours in relation to two major outcomes of coaching: the strength of the coach-client relationship and the generation of new insights for the client• Present a structured process to educate your clients about the benefits of soliciting their feedback• Offer a protocol to seamlessly ask for client feedback during a coaching session• Demonstrate how to use client feedback to inform reflective practice, whether alone or in educational or supervision settings With a deep evidence-base from the author’s research in 25 countries, involving over 130 clients of executive coaching, this is compelling and pragmatic reading to support the use of client feedback in practice. “Engaging with this book will prove to be developmental.” —Tatiana Bachkirova, Professor of Coaching Psychology and Co-Director of the International Centre for Coaching and Mentoring Studies at Oxford Brookes University, UK “A must-have book if one wants to succeed in the highly competitive environment of executive coaching.” —Wai K, ICF Master Certified Coach and Managing Partner, JMC Coach Mastery Academy, Malaysia “A welcome insight on how the coach’s feedback can be used in a structured manner.” —Carola Hieker, Co-Founder and Managing Director of HIL Coaching and Honorary Professor of Transformation Leadership at University College London, UK “A novel and invaluable contribution to the executive coaching literature." —Alan Sieler, Director, Newfield Institute and Ontological Coaching Institute, Australia “Fresh and well-researched.” —Teresa J Pool, ACTP Director, UT Dallas Executive Coaching Certificate Program, USA Hélène Seiler is an international executive coaching practitioner, supervisor and educator with over 30 years of experience in leadership development and talent management.

Assessment for Learning without Limits - Alison Peacock - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

Assessment for Learning without Limits - Alison Peacock - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

This book explores assessment practices that offer an enlightening and enabling view of all learners. Following the demise of national curriculum levels, the book embraces a unique opportunity to change how children are assessed. Rather than simply replacing the old structure with a new one, it focuses instead on enabling children to learn in meaningful ways so that assessment becomes a tool for improvement rather than judgment by building on two influential research studies, Learning without Limits (Hart et al 2004) and Creating Learning without Limits (Swann et al 2012). Inspired by a relentless focus on every child’s capacity to learn, the book explores what can be achieved when we remove limits on learning. School leaders and teachers, struggling against practices that seeks to define, label and rank, explore the opportunity to view assessment reform as a means of reducing inequity through ‘learning without limits’ principles of collaboration, professional learning and inquiry. Children share their views and offer powerful insights into what may be achieved when limits are lifted on their learning. Consequently a liberating and alternative view of assessment is presented, achieved through children and adults working in partnership.At a time when schools are in pursuit of new assessment practices and reporting of progress, the insights in this book about what is possible are highly pertinent for individual teachers, school leaders and teacher educators wondering how best to foster children’s learning capacity. “Everyone who cares about children’s lives and their futures should read this book!” Carol S. Dweck, Professor of Psychology, Stanford University, US and author of Mindset "This book tackles the difficult and very important task of bringing together the Learning Without Limits big ideas and the challenging topic of assessment.” Mary Jane Drummond and Susan Hart, Co-authors of Learning without Limits and Creating Learning without Limits, UK “This is a great book, and as one of the nine teachers who was part of the original ‘Learning without Limits’ research project I can vouch for Dame Alison Peacock’s unswerving commitment to, and passion for, the principles of Learning without Limits embodied within its pages .” Dr Claire Taylor, Pro Vice-Chancellor, St Mary’s University, Twickenham, London, UK “The book''s agenda and commitment are uplifting - to generate a love of learning and realise achievement in every child, irrespective of their circumstances or prior attainment. ” Professor Becky Francis, Professor of Education and Social Justice, King''s College London, UK "Alison Peacock makes a powerful case for trust and dialogue as the essential building blocks of this ''different way''." Mary Jane Drummond and Susan Hart, Co-authors of Learning without Limits and Creating Learning without Limits, UK "In contrast to some rather ''dry'' books on assessment that start with abstract principles and seek illustrations of them, this book works the other way around. It is full of rich stories of practice and the voices of children and their teachers." Mary James, Professor Emerita, University of Cambridge Faculty of Education, UK

Evaluating Improvement and Implementation for Health - John Ovretveit - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

These are questions with practical consequences and questions which evaluation can answer - if we choose the right methods. This book will help you do just that - match the right evaluation method to the questions being asked.

Experiencing Reggio Emilia - Cathy Nutbrown - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

Experiencing Reggio Emilia - Cathy Nutbrown - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

Early Education, internationally, is the focus of much challenge and debate. Various approaches to teaching young children are being developed and advocated, but the focus is often on curriculum content with the processes of learning as a secondary issue. The most important consideration in early education is the way in which young children learn. Their transferable skills of communication, collaboration and investigation can underpin all aspects of learning. These elements form the main focus of work in a group of pre-schools in an area of Northern Italy which has earned an international reputation for innovative practice and pedagogy.The experience of Reggio Emilia, in providing challenges to accepted approaches to early childhood education in many countries, is widely acknowledged. Since 1963, when the Italian municipality of Reggio Emilia began setting up its network of educational services for 0-6 year olds, the ''Reggio Approach'' has gained worldwide recognition. Numerous visitors have been impressed by the acknowledgement given to the potential of children, the organisation and quality of the environments created, the promotion of collegiality and a climate of co-participation of families in the educational project. This book reflects the impressions and experiences of the Reggio Emilia approach gained by a range of early childhood educators following a study visit to the region. It focusses on key issues such as staffing, training, working with parents, play, learning, the culture of early childhood, and special educational needs, from a variety of perspectives and will provide a welcome challenge to thinking for both practitioners and policy makers.
