Coaching to Anticipate, Prepare, and Plan

As we approach the fall semester, the landscape continues to be uncertain for students, faculty, and staff, despite efforts to move toward more face-to-face learning and normalcy. Institutions are implementing a variety of work modes and continuing to offer coursework in remote and hybrid modes in addition to in-person. Faculty are shifting their modes and their timing as institutions manage swings in enrollment both positive and negative. Staff are trying to help everyone hold on despite constant change.

Today's students, navigating these waters, can feel even more adrift than ever before. However, coaching can help them find and use anchors amongst the unknown and the uncertain. Targeted questions encourage students to identify what they can control and manage despite all that lies out of their control. When students identify potential choices and act on them, they find the agency that can serve as a life raft as they adjust to their fall coursework.

Even as coaches help students grow their autonomy in the midst of uncertainty, they can provide similar anchors for themselves. We are all in this together.
