GROWTH Coaching

A default for learners who are not achieving, is to request lunch/after-school study classes. Study classes work well for those learners who can commit to them, but for learners who have other commitments (family, sporting and church) after school, we needed to find another way to get learners to become more active and take charge of their learning in order to achieve academic success.

We attempted a GROWTH coaching activity using the template below which raised some rich discussion and collaboration.
