Working Together To Support Learning

Saturday September 19, 2026 5:15pm - 6:15pm CEST

In an era of rapid change, increasing complexity, and competing demands, educators are often pushed to look for better answers. This session argues that what schools most need are better questions. Drawing on Michael Bungay Stanier’s The Coaching Habit, the presentation focuses on a small set of powerful coaching questions and why coaching is fundamental to effective teaching and leadership.

Coaching is not about fixing problems or giving advice. It is about creating the conditions for thinking. Participants will explore questions such as: What’s the real challenge here? What do you really want? And what’s the smallest useful step forward? These deceptively simple questions help shift conversations from telling to listening, from compliance to ownership, and from short-term solutions to long-term growth.

The session will connect these questions to everyday educational contexts, including classroom practice, professional conversations, and leadership decision-making. Teachers will see how coaching questions support student agency, metacognition, and wellbeing. Leaders will examine how a coaching approach builds trust, clarity, and collective responsibility across teams.

Rather than adding another initiative, coaching offers a practical mindset that strengthens learning, improves relationships, and supports sustainable improvement. Participants will leave with sense of why coaching matters and how to apply it.
