Course summary

What makes Education (Mentoring and Coaching) at Worcester special?

Coaching and mentoring are terms that are regularly used in education settings, yet there is often little discussion about what these important processes involve. There is also a lack of clarity about the skills required by coaches and mentors, with policy documents often choosing to focus upon process rather than what it takes to be an effective coach/ mentor.

Both of our MA Education coaching and mentoring modules provide greater clarity about what these terms involve, and how they can be delivered effectively within an education setting.

Key features

  • Through our MA Education coaching and mentoring modules, you will have an opportunity to:
  • Reflect on your own coaching and mentoring skills, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of provision within an education institutions
  • Relate theory to practice, and consider how your own practice – and that of your institution – could be enhanced
  • Learn in a variety of ways, including through reflective practice, paired exercises, coaching practice, group discussions, reading, and individual research
  • Share your own experiences, and learn from other people’s some of whom will work in different sectors of education
  • Develop valuable coaching and mentoring skills, which you can put into practice and highlight in future job applications and interviews
  • Be taught by an experienced and highly qualified professional coach who, as well as working as a part-time lecturer, runs her own coaching company.

Assessment

The course provides opportunities to test understanding and learning informally through the completion of practice or ‘formative’ assignments.

Each module has one or more formal or ‘summative’ assessments which are graded and count towards the overall module grade. Assessment methods include a range of coursework assessments such as essays, reports, presentations and a final year dissertation. In negotiated learning modules students can design an investigation and a mode of assessment most suited to their project.
