This report documents the development of a coaching resource that reflects the insights of what Field Advisors and postgraduate students find critical in their coaching relationship during students’ practicum.
The accompanying coaching resource aims to improve coaching relationships. Field Advisors and students are encouraged to use the coaching resource at their initial meeting to discuss their perspectives about expectations, preferred forms of communication, personal and professional goals, and the prior knowledge and skills that each individual can contribute to the relationship.
