Coaching for mentors is a training offer exclusively aimed at mentors on the ECT programme.

Structure & Content 

The basic structure of CFM is a 1:1, 45 minutes to 1 hour long coaching meeting between a mentor and a coach arranged at a time that is convenient to the mentor.

The session aims to support and develop the mentor's ability to coach their ECT in their weekly/fortnightly feedback meetings. Ambition Institute have prepared resources for these 1:1 sessions which related to the developmental steps we have created for mentors. These steps relate to the following areas of instructional coaching: 

• Selecting appropriate steps

 • Sharing the model 

• Sharing the step 

• Deliberate practice 

• Analysing the gap

Coaching for mentors is an ‘optional’ strand of the ECT programme.
