The TransformEd Project
Coaching is "unlocking a person's potential to maximise their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them"
- Sir John Whitmore
Copyright 2010 Rainbow Consultants
The TransformEd Project was established by Sir John
Whitmore borne out of his desire to help transform the
learning experience of young people, through the creation
of a dynamic coaching culture in schools. The project team
is now led by Quinn Simpson, youth life coach, assisted by a
small management team and there is a growing network of
TransformEd members throughout the UK.
The project team's mission is to enhance the existing learning environment in Britain by implementing coaching programmes in educational institutions and assisting them in successfully achieving their goals.
The TransformEd project team consists of a group of coaching and education experts, who are passionate about supporting the success of Britain's young people.

How does coaching work?
The coaching principle: all individuals have the ability and resources to achieve desired results. Coaches engage active listening, effective questioning and observational feedback to help individuals and groups clarify their goals and visions. Fundamentally coaching encourages people to take action and overcome obstacles.
In the school environment, coaching assists children to take responsibility for their learning. It also provides the time and space for self-reflection, often resulting in those 'Aha! Moments' or enlightenment - suddenly they will feel and see things differently -opportunities become possible that seemed impossible.
Coaching works with adults, young people and children alike. We all know that when we learn something in our own unique way that the knowledge sticks and becomes an exciting process of discovery. However, what we need is someone to support and challenge our thinking - this is the role of a coach. The power of a coaching partnership is endless.

Design for Change is an innovative and exciting competition for young people that might just change the world!
Young people who enter are asked to design a solution to a problem in their community and make it happen. Each individual change builds momentum and energy behind significant positive change driven by our young people.
The competition originated in India where it has had a massive impact. In July 2010, the inspiration behind the competition, Kiran Bir Sethi, came to the UK to launch it here. Design for Change is not just a competition; it will become an inspiring and empowering community that will help young people believe that they matter and they can make a difference.
Participants are given a simple task: design a solution to a problem in your community and make it happen!

In the last twenty years, there have been some significant shifts in terms of curriculum, community and campus (the physical learning environment) but TransformEd aims to take it one step further. As a Community Interest Company, TransformEd will provide educators across the UK with inspiration through annual events and conferences, motivation through its coaching and education experts and resource tools through its online network.

Leading up to September 2011 and beyond, TransformEd
will support the implementation of the new national
curriculum for primary schools by integrating coaching into
the sphere of education and providing an accessible group of
experts who will work closely with schools to facilitate its
application.
The TransformEd vision for the next ten years is to inspire head teachers and schools across Britain to make the changes required from within by giving them the necessary tools to achieve this. All the coaching programmes offered will be quality assured by TransformEd's own professional standards. By 2020, the aim is to be effectively delivering a wide range of individual programmes into individual institutions and continuing to nurture strong and mutually beneficial relationships between educational institutions and coaching programmes.
