Course Description
This course meets on the following schedule: March 15-16 & April 5-6 Online; May 2-4 Face to Face. 

This course explores the application of coaching principles, models, and techniques in the context of groups and teams. While most coaching is dyadic in nature, coaching in group or team settings requires an understanding of the complex social dynamics that shape learning and change in groups, as well as the levers and mechanisms that enable collective action toward common goals. The course is designed to build on and complement your growing base of scholarship and practice from 7200, 7220, and 7230.

This hybrid course blends synchronous virtual class sessions with asynchronous learning opportunities, in-depth readings, and other self-study activities.  It is a highly experiential course combining conceptual knowledge, integrated practice, and interactive sessions that serve the development of group and team coaching competency, capability, and capacity.  Learners will participate in group coaching sessions as both group member and coach to gain an understanding of the unique benefits of group work—as well as the innate challenges coaches must navigate when working in the group domain.  Individual one-on-one meetings with the instructor will complement these group experiences in further support of the course learning objectives.  Participants in the course will demonstrate their learning through scholarly and reflective writing, live coaching, in-class discussion, and other assignments.
