In this course, students apply models, approaches, and frameworks; individual and team coaching strategies; and ethical guidelines to case studies focusing on coaching competencies and ethical practices. Students also examine characteristics, factors, and conditions that influence the effectiveness of coaching; assessment and evaluation; diversity considerations; and professional issues and challenges. Students will also engage in hands-on coaching competency and skill development through Voice to Voice training sessions. (This course includes a practice lab).
