Foundation Pack – What’s included?
Coach’s Course Guide
Coaches Pack
At EquiScholars we all want our learners to be as successful as possible, for this reason we have created a course guide where you will gain some insights into how to help your students be the best learners they can be.
The guide discusses factors that influence learning, how to work with what you have and how to use your core subjects to teach ‘hidden curriculum’ life skills. It also details the benefits of working in a natural environment, the power of connection and communication and the importance of empowering learners to foster their own opinions and self-esteem.
By the end of the guide you will have learnt:
- How to set up your sessions for success
- How to remove barriers to learning
- The power of experiential learning
- Communication styles
- How to empower your learners
Now you are ready to start teaching EquiScholars!
