Coaching and Mentoring Students in Higher Education A Practitioner Guide to Developing Independent Learners

'The time for more coaching of students in HE has come. This book is a welcome response to challenges in Higher Education learning and teaching. It shifts the focus from what students learn to how they could do it. Coaching approaches transform teaching and learning into provision that is tailored to each student, their unique goals, backstories, and circumstances.'

It serves as a powerful advocate for person-centered methodologies and relationships, addressing critical topics like ethics, equality, and wellbeing with depth and care.'

'This volume gives great insight into the growing culture of coaching at The Open University (UK), where the mission is to be open to people, places, methods and ideas. It absolutely makes sense to take a person-centred approach to enable individuals to realise their own solutions in higher education.'
