Coaching against school failure: an effective tool
To you, who are you reading, do you think the lack of effort in students at risk of school failure is the cause ... or the consequence of school failure itself? Let's leave this question in the air for now.
The work of a coach not only works with great managers, but also with people who are in situations where that connection with their "center", with their internal energy, is important to move forward and overcome the situation in which it is. And it is that:
- If something teaches Coaching to a person is to realize how to take responsibility.
- If something needs a student at risk of school failure is to take responsibility.
When a student is not giving everything he is able to deliver, it can be for several reasons, among which are the tendency to blame something external and the thought that he can not get where they ask, surrender and throw in the towel.
Coaching against school failure
A Coaching process can help a student to get out of a situation of risk of school failure in a very fast way . The coach helps you see that you can act in different ways despite having the same circumstances. You will realize that it is in your hand to choose a victim attitude or a protagonist attitude. Despite the external conditions, they can never deprive him of being the protagonist of his life.
The search for affinities and interests of the student, which many parents encourage with intelligence, not only serves to know what their leisure time can occupy. It serves as an indicator of what you are looking for in your life, and what you excel at. Discovering through coaching that you can search for yourself, in addition to the process of finding it, connect you with your motivation.
Each student, also the one at risk of school failure, unknowingly hides a potential that makes him or her unique. Nature has given it to him, so that he contributes the best of himself, of what others do not do so well, of his quality. The job of the coach is to help the student to look for that quality , which is nothing other than his own potential, and from then on he will learn to perceive it and to manage it for himself.
The potential of each student
Helping each student and also each person find it within himself is one of the pending matters , not only of the school, but of society. This potential will benefit your work, any system you form or will be part of in the future, and most importantly, your happiness.
Let's continue with a reflection: If we really believe that some of the subjects you are studying will not serve you in the future, how can we expect the same student to believe it? Many believe that the educational system will change sooner or later, to include subjects such as Emotional Intelligence and at the same time stop including theoretical knowledge that does not contribute as much as was thought to the future of the student. But this change of model is no longer the responsibility of the student.
What is your responsibility?
The student realizes that the educational system is not perfect. Discover that, to reach your dream, you must approve within this imperfect system, and therefore choose to do so. Take the decision. And is that the educational system is focused on those students who give up .
The Coach helps you discover what is your own personal method to take responsibility for the situation and do everything you can do, which turns out to be a lot. At the moment in which he takes responsibility, things occur to him that did not occur to him before, because the first step to follow the path of his dream and realize, is to take responsibility. The student is aware that the only thing that is in his hand is his attitude, and that this change of attitude is sufficient and at the same time necessary to change the situation. This gives you a more realistic view and at the same time empowers you to commit yourself to get out of that situation.
It is not about changing your vision of the study and transforming it into a more enjoyable activity to get approved, but to help you realize the purpose you pursue when studying, and thus help you look, from that perspective, for your personal way of managing how to do those tasks, without feeling it as an obligation, but by own decision.
If we treat them as adults, they will thank us and return us a mature behavior, showing that they are capable of taking responsibility. The responsibility of your life .
