Increasing Learning Power (ILP) Coaching

ILP Coaching is an inspiring form of professional development that enables educators to build self-awareness and skill as a lifelong learner. This in turn resources them to support and lead learning in their school or organisation. By working with an accredited ILP coach you will:

learn about the characteristics that makes a highly powerful and effective lifelong learner as found by extensive research at the University of Bristol – see the video clip Seven Dimensions of Learning Power http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1N6tgM7bL4c
reflect on your own experience using the research validated Effective Lifelong Learning Inventory (ELLI) profile as a starting point
develop tailor made strategies to increase your learning power in order to achieve your professional goals

As a result of the session I am aiming to be more assertive when influencing and leading others. I have plans to improve my ‘strategic awareness’ and ‘critical curiosity’ (two of the seven dimensions) to enable me to do this. I can really see how the students at my school would benefit from this coaching too.
