coaching has come to the adi - helping the adi pass the sc1
DESCRIPTION
Coaching in the ADI industry or as the DVSA call it, Client centred training cannot be ignored. Your style of teaching now needs the GROW model and you need to show the SEAD how you are going to cope with the word "RISK" If you are an ADI and in need of help, contact me via: www.fleetmasteruk.comTRANSCRIPT
COACHING HAS COME TO THE ADI
As driving instructors we cannot rely on instructing alone. The check test will be replaced by Standards Check. We need to change…..

What is coaching?
Coaching is about:
• Developing the pupils full potential• Raising awareness• Process ownership• Solving problems• Asking the right questions• Establishing a good rapport• Effective listening• Monitoring performance through SMART Objectives
The GDE Matrix
• The Grow Model was developed by Sir John Whitmore & Graham Alexander. It is a useful tool to incorporate in your lesson plan.
• Grow stands for Goal, reality, options and way forward.
• Grow - Agree with your pupil a topic for discussion• Reality – invite self assessment, how realistic is the set goal?• Options – Again invite suggestions from the pupil• Way forward – prepare a plan, any obstacles? Agree support
The present method versus Coaching method• Do Fault ID,
• ANALYSIS
• AND REMEDY ENCOURAGE SELF-ASSESSMENT?
• And most importantly, how do you get a pupil to evaluate a future risk?
How to structure a coaching session
The DSA has now embraced the findings from the Hermes project and refer “coaching” as CCL or client centred learning.
Set the Agenda - What would you like to do in today’s session?
Listen effectively – do not interrupt, let them finish what they are saying.
• Always• Listen• First
Questioning – Ask open ended questions, preferably involving emotions of the learner and other road users.For example “How would you feel if the other driver failed to give a signal?”Intuition – listen for cues before and after the words and between the silences
Coaching Core - Comps• Try to bring in some commentary driving, useful for pupils
who have a nervous disposition.
• After a task has finished, ask the pupil how they did, highlighting any strengths and areas for improvement
• Ask the pupil how they think they can improve? What help would they like from you?
• Don’t ridicule the pupil if they come out with a wrong or absurd response, this could have a de-moralising effect
Ways to GROW……
Elicit Feedback• Get the pupil to talk about the good part(s) of their driver
training.• Get into the habit of scaling – improves morale and transfers
ownership of process
• Where does the pupil need to improve?
• Encourage the pupil to self-valuate their own performance?
• Set small manageable tasks. Consider mind mapping, useful if the pupil is struggling with multi lane roundabouts or even a manoeuvre.
Levels 1 and 2 is what ADI’s currently teach to get the pupils through the Practical test.
Levels 3 and 4 is what I aim for to make safe, defensive drivers for life.
