Coaching in BC Schools Module

Coaching in BC Schools

BCSS and the Coaches Association of Canada have developed the “Coaching in BC Schools” module. This workshop will help teacher coaches and community coaches develop NCCP’s five core competencies: problem-solving, valuing, critical thinking, leading and interacting.
By the end of the session coaches will be able to improve safety, manage their school’s sport policies and apply Canadian Sport for Life standards into school sport programming.
Highlights of the module include:
•             Solving problems through practical scenarios.
•             Promoting education through sport.
•             Better managing your time as a coach.
•             Working with students, coaches and administrators to create a more meaningful experience in school sport.
