What is coaching?
“The coach works with clients to achieve speedy, increased and sustainable effectiveness in their lives and careers through focused learning.
The coach’s sole aim is to work with the client to achieve all of the client’s potential – as defined by the client”
(Rogers 2004 p7)
How is it distinct from Mentoring?
The skills coaches use are employed through a different lens to that of mentoring
Coaching is integral to the process of self-directed change

Why is it so important?
Coaching empowers individuals to make the right choices: It focuses on the individual’s needs It impacts on their effectiveness It facilitates the development of maturity as an adult
learner It facilitates the development of self direction It facilitates the development of reflective practice It aims to facilitate the realisation of personal
learning plans and, in so doing, personalising the individual’s own curriculum.
Proposed PC3 Framework
Carnegie Coaching Lab
Processes to support enrolment on individual curriculum pathways, through open awards (validated via learning outcomes rather
than specific content) personal learning contracts accreditation of work-based learning
Coaching training for staff and students Appropriate technology to support media-rich
communication and review of practice e.g. Elluminate Dartfish
Health Check
Assess current achievements and identify skills and knowledge gaps online diagnostics self-assessment and audit tools competency frameworks
Input from employers and professional bodies Relevant resources from employer groups and
existing projects e.g. CETL ALPS.
Learning Bank
Access to resources to support study, from complete module provision to individual learning
Guided access to the institutional repository and relevant external resources, including those from employers and professional bodies
Allow the learner to contribute resources back to the bank
Will build on The Repository at Leeds Met and the related Streamline and Persona projects
Studeo
Learner’s personal space where they can organize, reflect on and develop evidence for their learning
E-portfolio system - include personalized assessment
Learner-created shared learning spaces, for interaction with coaches, colleagues, employers or other groups
Commons
Space for interaction with other learners motivation and support informal learning sharing of curriculum design ideas co-coaching
Private social networking space Facilitate use with existing tools e.g. Google
Apps, Facebook
PC3 Framework will need to address:
Regulations (where necessary) Processes Technology support Staff development and training Student induction
Key challenges identified
Tracking part-time work-based learners Flexibility of access to and selection of
provision and assessment Flexibility of staff engagement with learners:
implications for deployment Technical integration with existing systems:
Banner, X-stream, Repository Appropriate cross-module and cross-course
funding model
Benefits

Develop further international flexible distance provision
Strengthen partnerships with employers
