Coaching and training for Educators

Education

Working with Lisa has been a brilliant experience. She listened intuitively to the needs of our setting and designed her training according to our context with sensitivity and expertise. Partnering with Real Clear Coaching has helped us a senior leadership team evolve our coaching programme into a team - wide systemic offer which has been very positively evaluated by our staff.Sarah Compai, Director of Teacher Development, Derbyshire

Mentally fitter staff. Stronger teams. Healthier schools.
Practical coaching and training to help school staff and leaders look after themselves, manage competing demands and work well together. From a focused CPD session to ongoing leadership development, we’ll shape the support around your school.

We understand education. Real Clear’s founder, Lisa Read, is a qualified teacher and former SENDCo, with experience in school leadership and governance. We understand the commitment school staff bring to their work, and the pressures that can make it difficult to find time for their own development. Our approach is warm, practical and grounded in the realities of working with people.

We can work with you through staff CPD, twilight sessions, INSET days, coaching or a longer development programme. We’ll agree the focus and intended outcomes with you beforehand, so the time feels relevant and useful for the people attending.

How We Help Educators

Mental Fitness for Education

Your people put a lot into supporting others. They deserve time and practical support to develop themselves too. Our Four Core Muscles of Mental Fitness model gives staff a shared language for understanding what helps them work and feel at their best:

Self Care: recognising your needs, managing emotions and making space to recover.
Self Organisation: managing attention, priorities and competing demands.
Self Development: staying connected to purpose, learning and taking useful next steps.
People Skills: listening, communicating clearly and navigating difficult conversations.

Through reflection, practical exercises and discussion, we help people recognise their strengths and choose realistic changes they can use in everyday school life. We also make space to consider what needs to change in how work is organised, supported and led.

Mental Fitness for Young People

"The workshop was highly engaging for the learners and Maia guided them through each activity with respect and encouragement. I would have no hesitation in recommending this workshop." Rachel Dawson, Teacher at UTC

Our 1-hour Mental Fitness workshop for young people is designed to get them thinking about mental health in a different way using our unique Four Core Muscles model.

The workshop gets the students thinking about their own strengths, moving around the room, talking to each other and the trainer in small groups and hopefully sharing with the class.
