How Can We Help Students

Help Themselves?

The complexity of modern life and technology has mushroomed over the past generation, and with this rapid change has come increased support and connection to help us navigate. One result: Most of today's students have come of age in a world where they have been managed to an unprecedented degree, by both structures and people, at school and at home. The transition away from being managed to self-management may not have ever been an easy one, but it is arguably far more difficult than ever.

Given time constraints and other limitations on how coaches can support students, how can we empower them to grow in their ability to help themselves? Revealing the goal of self-coaching can help.

Students may be more inclined to grow in their self-management if a coach communicates that part of the aim of coaching is for students to learn to coach themselves.

Let students know: My goal is to help you understand coaching so that over time you become able to ask yourself coaching questions.

Ask students to identify their own accountability structures to implement over time.

Have students select their own accountability partners to turn to between coaching meetings.

Ask students: If you were coaching a friend in this situation, what question would you ask them? Then see if the student is willing to answer the question themselves.
