Overview
Module aims and purpose
This module is designed for experienced coaches (minimum 100 hours’ coaching experience) and, therefore, builds the capability and capacity of students to act as an effective team coach. It aims to increase students’ level of self-awareness, team-awareness and systemic awareness (the team in relation to its broader system(s)), providing a real focus for students on developing their ‘way of being’ as a team coach (confidence, courage, connection, and continuing). The module blends theoretical and researched underpinnings with team coaching practice supported by professional team coaching competency frameworks. Taught by academics and practitioners in the field of team coaching, it aims to develop students’ behavioural flexibility to increase the effectiveness and appropriateness of team coaching interventions and to increase student awareness of the ethical and practical issues in relation to team coaching.
Module learning outcomes
By the end of the module, it is expected that the student will be able to:Â
- Identify and write reflectively on their personal strengths and development areas as a team coach, including their way of being as a team coach and their development journey to date, along with their plans for further development, linking this to relevant tools, models, frameworks, and academic literature/research. Â
- Demonstrate their knowledge, skills and abilities in relation to the professional team coaching competency frameworks through observed practice. Â
- Contract for, design and deliver team coaching interventions (at least 35 hours of team coaching practice), recognising the distinctions between team coaching, team facilitation, team building and team development and drawing on relevant/appropriate tools, models, frameworks, academic literature/research. Â
- Effectively manage any presenting complex team/systemic inter-personal relationships and ethical issues to prepare them to operate in a competitive market. Â

Structure
Teaching and learning methods
 Teaching methods include working in small groups with tutor support, as well as working in pairs and triads. Â
Teaching includes input from tutors with facilitated discussions, demonstrations of techniques and practice in small groups. Plenary discussion and discussions in breakout groups are encouraged. Feedback is given regularly and coaching supervision is used to support development. Workshop based teaching is supported by self-directed learning using learning platform resources and recommended reading. Â
Inter-Workshop coaching practice sessions take place. Â
After the final workshop, additional coaching with non-course participants take place. The programme continues with online Group Supervision. Â
A personal learning log is kept throughout the programme.Â
