ACHIEVE Wellbeing and Education Coaching
ACHIEVE is an Elevate project that trains university students who are studying psychology or education degrees or masters level qualifications in wellbeing and performance coaching skills. These students are then placed in a secondary or primary school and support the wellbeing and learning needs of reffered pupils.
Elevate ACHIEVE coaches provide one-to-one coaching that develops the pupil’s techniques to deal with automatic thoughts that limit the flexible and growth mindset. They collaborate with young people and facilitate positive ways forward on whatever issue the young person brings.
Often Elevate ACHIEVE coaches work with young people to manage stress, develop revision strategies for exams, improve organisational skills, time management, and approaches and attitudes to learning and behaviour. They also work to reduce anxiety and help young people to develop wellbeing coping skills.
ACHIEVE wellbeing and learning coaches tend to have the theoretical knowledge from their degree programmes, Elevate create a safe and secure environment within which they can make a practical difference to the lives of other young people, and often they act as aspirational role models for their coachee.
Some ACHIEVE coaches go on to do research projects related to their experience and add to the emerging knowledge around coaching in education.
All the coaches are DBS checked and are given safeguarding guidance. If you want to have one of our ACHIEVE wellbeing and learning coaches in your school get in touch.
