Time to Learn Top Tips
During 2009/10 a series of our ‘Time to Learn Top Tips” were published in the General Teaching Council’s publication ‘GTC Teaching Scotland’.
Click on the links below to read each Top Tip and get inspired with some thought provoking questions.
Plan your learning - You plan what and how your students learn, but have you ever planned your learning?
How do I learn? – You know that your students take in information in different ways, so what are your learning preferences?
How do I fit in training around running a school? – How do you find time to become a great headteacher? Are you starting to doubt whether yours really is the best job in the world?

I am a teacher with 30 years classroom experience in all sectors from Secondary, Primary and Special Ed. Needs. I am leaving my current school to begin a new chapter in life and have been investigating Life Coaching as a possible alternative and a good way to use all the skills I have built up over the years. In my research so far I have found it difficult to find a course with good accreditation and wondered if you would be able to advise on courses with good qualifications attached. I would like to avoid distance learning and am looking for a course which might offer interaction with fellow learners and teacher. If you have the time, I would be grateful for any information you could offer.
Look forward to hearing from you.

I agree, coaching is an excellent use of all those skills that you have developed as a teacher.
I achieved my Advanced Diploma with the OCM who I would highly recommend.
Information about the OCM’s qualification are here http://www.theocm.co.uk/qualifications.asp
My course lasted 12 months, there were 7 face to face days (in three visits) and a lot of interaction with my peers .
In fact, being inspired by my peers was was really made this qualification such a fabulous learning experience.
The qualification is one of the best in the country and with accreditation to the EMCC and Oxford Brookes University, it is highly regarding in coaching circles.
Mark Lester will be able to provide you will all the information you need on 01869 338989 or by e-mail mark@theocm.co.uk.
Mark is always very helpful, especially if you let him know I recommended you!
Let me know if this qualification is not right for you as I have others I can recommend or I am happy to buzz my network for you for more alternatives.
Warmest regards
