Expert help
→ Ready to kick off your PD programme?
Make the most of our team’s extensive experience in implementation with daily masterclasses with our Coaching Development Leads.
As former school leaders, our CDLs always take the time to understand the ins and outs of your school or trust, and provide support tailored to your specific needs.
Online training
→ Improve your coaching skills with a treasure trove of ready-to-go resources.
Our Coaching Skills Builder is an online course made up of twenty 15-minute modules, each tackling a key aspect of feedback, modelling and rehearsal.
You can also build your own in-school training sessions with customisable resources for your school’s PD or INSET programmes. Simply choose a session, download the materials, customise for your context, and watch the tutorials to help you deliver great training whenever you need.
Your subscription also gives you access to our regular webinars, covering useful topics like building a positive feedback culture, using Steplab data to respond to key priorities, and how to implement coaching for specific contexts.
Coaching Hubs
→ View a successful PD programme in action at a school where Steplab is already delivering impact.
Spanning the UK, our coaching hubs host visits showcasing their highly intentional - and effective - approach to PD. Work with other leaders to design an implementation plan that works for your school or trust.
It’s a powerful way to supercharge your understanding of how high impact professional development can be optimised for different contexts and inspire yourself to achieve more through PD in your setting.
Coaching Intensives
→ Hone your skills over a one-day training session with Steplab Institute.
- Instructional Coaching Intensive (for coaches)
- PD Leadership Intensive (for leaders responsible for PD across their school or trust)
Our training options deliver the knowledge and expertise you need to coach effectively and to lead professional development that really works. Plus, our support doesn’t stop there - you’ll also have access to expert resources, ongoing self-study modules and virtual follow-up sessions to help you embed everything you’ve learned within your school.
These intensives are the ideal opportunity to enhance your coaching skills with some high quality training, face-to-face with the Steplab team. Past participants attest these sessions “completely reframed our thinking around how to make the most effective use of Steplab”.
We’re also delivering intensives in Australia.
Certificate in Coaching Leadership
→ Drive excellence in PD at your school or trust and refine your leadership skills along the way.
Our CCL is a course designed to help leaders unlock the power of professional development in their school or trust.
With three in-person training days across the year, a local school visit, virtual expert sessions, independent study modules and regular calls with a small group of coaching leads, it’s no wonder 100% of our participants recommend CCL to other leaders.
We’re also delivering the CCL in Australia.
Thought leadership
→ Studies and stories from the cutting edge of PD.
Steplab is committed to developing the world’s most powerful approach to improving teaching. But it goes further than that - we also want to share what we learn.
