In this context, coaching is seen as a powerful tool for self-development and self-actualization, which unlocks learners\u2019 potential and maximises their achievements. The article focuses on ensuring sustainability in teachers\u2019 professional development and improving teachers\u2019 competence by introducing them to basic coaching skills which they can use to improve learners\u2019 results and their relationships with educators. The discussion is based on data from the implementation of a coaching-based teaching methodology comprising 3 modules which deal with different aspects of coaching. The modules were piloted and evaluated on the basis of their overall effectiveness, and teachers\u2019 and learners\u2019 development. The participants in the study included 39 educators working in educational institutions in 6 European countries. The analysis is based on data collected by means of questionnaires for the participants, post-piloting focus-groups and individual interviews. The findings suggest improvement in teacher \u2013 student relationships, creativity, motivation, goal-setting, and job satisfaction. In terms of benefits for teachers, the highest values were given to the development of professional competence, and improving the effectiveness of teaching. In terms of module content, the participants preferred the linear progression from general to specific, thus choosing to focus on coaching essentials and basic coaching skills before moving on to their application in working with learners. In their feedback the participants singled out the topics of self-reflection, active listening and focusing on solutions as most interesting and useful. As for modules\u2019 usefulness for learners\u2019 development, the highest values were given to learners\u2019 ability to set goals, followed by improving creativity, improving communication, and increasing motivation.<br \/>\n<em>Keywords:<\/em> coaching; sustainability; professional development; teachers; learners<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/vocedu.azbuki.bg\/en\/member-login\/\">Log in to read the full text<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Irina Ivanova, Penka Kozhuharova, Rumyana Todorova Konstantin Preslavsky University of Shumen (Bulgaria) https:\/\/doi.org\/10.53656\/str2022-5-3-sus Abstract.
