This research offers a practical model for how schools can engage all staff—not just educators—in a values-led approach to organisational development, using the IB Learner Profile as a foundation for reflection, connection, and cultural change.

This study is conducted at Deira International School, where coaching is already embedded as a professional growth and reflection tool. Through this lens, this study explores the impact of coaching as part of quality assurance cycles on teachers' perceptions and teaching and learning outcomes. This research aims to contribute to ongoing conversations surrounding sustainable and impactful quality assurance models.

This study aims to address to investigate the shift from prescriptive, target driven performance management to a coaching based approach and how it has impacted staff development, confidence, wellbeing and productivity within a UAE international school setting. By focusing on a case study of three departments, the research seeks to explore the lived experiences of staff and provide insights that can inform broader leadership practices across similar educational contexts.

This study considers the impact of using coaching as a professional development and reflection tool amongst educators. Using Deira International School as a case study, it assesses the benefits of coaching for middle leaders and teachers and the impact it has on the quality of teaching and learning.

Professional growth and development are critical for sustaining high standards in education. One method increasingly adopted to foster this growth is coaching. Coaching involves personalised, one-on-one interactions aimed at developing an individual's skills, performance, and career progression.

In the field of teacher education, the search for effective strategies to support student teacher development is ongoing. This case study explored the impact of a coaching style approach to feedback for International Postgraduate Certificate in Education (iPGCE) student teachers during school placements, examining how coaching feedback influences their progress and development.
