Povzetek
Prva leta ravnateljevanja predstavljajo najtežje obdobje v profesionalnem in osebnem razvoju novoimenovanih ravnateljev. Običajno še nimajo veliko izkušenj z vodenjem, zato se ob prevzemu vodstvene vloge pogosto soočajo s primanjkljajem znanja in spretnosti za vodenje. Pri reševanju vsakdanjih izzivov, ki so povezani s posebnostmi zavoda in okolja, se pogosto počutijo osamljene. Želijo si strokovne podpore in pomoči. V prispevku opredelimo coaching in ga predstavimo kot uspešno obliko profesionalnega razvoja ravnateljev. V letih 2019 do 2021 smo ga v Šoli za ravnatelje izvajali z novoimenovanimi ravnatelji, ki so se za to obliko podpore odločili v času epidemije. V prispevku predstavimo namen in cilje individualnega coachinga, potek izvedbe ter analizo in evalvacijo izbranih elementov. Prispevek zaključimo s priporočili za umestitev coachinga med redne oblike podpore novoimenovanim ravnateljem.
Abstract
Coaching Experience of Newly Appointed Headteachers
The first years of school leadership represent the most difficult period in the professional and personal development of newly appointed headteachers. They usually do not yet have much experience with leadership, so they often face a lack of leadership skills when taking on a leadership role. They often feel lonely in solving everyday challenges related to the specifics of the institution and the environment. They need professional support and help. The paper defines and presents coaching as a successful form of professional development of headteachers. In the years 2019 to 2021, it was implemented at the Slovenian National School for Leadership in Education with newly appointed headteachers who opted for this form of support during the epidemic. In this paper, the purpose and goals of individual coaching, the course of implementation and analysis and evaluation of selected elements are presented. The paper concludes with recommendations for placing coaching as a regular form of support for newly appointed headteachers.
