Field coaching is a cornerstone of our commitment to excellence in outdoor education. Our coaching process encompasses a tailored coaching approach and distinct categories to address the diverse needs and profiles of our instructors. Through a combination of theory and practical insights, this workshop will delve into the components of our field coaching process and its significance in enhancing programme quality and safety. The key elements covered are as follows: • Coaching Approach that encompasses the identification of the coaching activity objectives, detailing an observation plan and the coaching model to engage the instructors in sharing of feedback and supporting their development. • Field Coaching Categories that cater to the different areas of development for various profiles of the instructors. Attendees would gain a deeper understanding of the field coaching process and its role in enhancing programme quality and safety.
