Teachers can be many figures inside one, we all know that today they are required to be multi-sectorial, transversal and super skilled. But at the base, the vocation to be a teacher coincides with the vocation to be a Mentor. The main difference is to be either a “professional mentor” or just a person taking care of some difficult situation of specific students and overcoming the border of “just teaching at school”.
On the other hand, Coaching is similar but at the same time, a different approach, with its own techniques.
Nowadays being a teacher doesn’t only mean to teach but it also means helping, supporting, motivating, being an active listener and a guide for students and colleagues. And that’s the reason why it is very important to be prepared to face any kind of situation that can arise in school environments. Schools are the mirror of society, sometimes of the small and the big context where the school is based, sometimes of the wider framework.
Most of the time teachers replace the figure of a coach or have to be more of a mentor than an expert in the subject. They enter students’ lives and constitute the biggest support together with families, becoming also an adult point of reference to be inspired from.
This course has the purpose to give the basic tools to help teachers be more aware of the variety of valuable roles they may have – apart from being subject teachers – and gain key competences to play a more active role in helping and motivating students.
The course starts making clear what the differences are between these two figures (the coach and the mentor) and also to understand which one can better fit each situation, in order to be able to use one or the other depending on the needs of the person we want to support, learning how to take care, guide and how to build a relationship of trust.
A coach can help a student to set goals, and give them the tools to achieve them only by using their own capabilities. A mentor is also a guide, a trustworthy point of reference or a model that can last for a longer time.
This course helps you to find ways to hand difficult issues back to the person (coachee/mentee) and to encourage them to find the solutions for themselves, through a process of empowerment. We aren’t aiming to teach you how to become a fully accredited coach or mentor, we are aiming to provide you with some highly effective coaching skills you will be able to put into practice in your life and daily work. It’s always very important to contextualize and each person can be a different kind of mentor depending on each specific situation.
In some contexts coaching and mentoring are used almost as interchangeable terms. Without a doubt, they are both valuable processes. It is true that the boundary between them is somewhat permeable and that often the same individuals in schools carry out or participate in both processes.
Active listening and asking powerful questions are at the base of these two supportive interventions, that is why the teacher will get to know how to ask effective questions, make beliefs become visible and support an empowering mindset, including the use of the Grow Model to support a pathway of self awareness and growth.
LEARNING GOALS:
Teachers who have a good English level, with a leadership role in their school, school managers or project coordinators.
In general, teachers who feel they have the vocation to be mentors and/or coaches.
INTRO/METHOD
Like all our programs, the present one is flexible and adaptable to special requests, depending on the subject taught or on the starting level of the participant.
Furthermore, in line with the JUMP Academy method, our courses are based on a strategic balance between formal and non-formal education, indoor and outdoor education and the team takes care of a very important aspect of international mobility which is the intercultural learning which we develop with short excursions and facilitating the interaction with local partners, businesses and citizens of our territory. Each local context has its own economy so it’s always useful, in training programs, to get in contact with concrete examples (experiential learning and real based learning).
We always try to connect our learners to local teachers and students to cooperate in developing innovation and networking for future projects. If possible, inside the program, a morning is spent inside a local school, visiting, observing, and cooperating in the realization of one or more lessons. The proposed program JUMP works, in European dimension and with an international spirit, at the local level and, according to the period of the training along the year and the weather, it is possible to change some sessions and add visits and meetings, in cooperation with our network of partners including schools involved in European projects).

JUMP is based in Soverato (Catanzaro province), on the Jonian coast but the association cooperates with local partners and institutions of the surroundings towns and cities. Calabria region represents the deep South of Italy, known for the tropical climate and sandy beaches but also famous tall and green mountains.
During our trainings we also aim to make participants discovering the region, especially those old towns rich of culture, traditions, castles, small churches, narrow streets, colourful balconies, tropical flowers and local farms.
The nearest airport to Soverato is Lamezia Terme (SUF), 30 minutes far away from Soverato.
Our pick up is organized ONLY from and to this airport which is the biggest and the most important, connected to all the other cities in Italy and in Europe.
Many people like to stop in Rome or in Naples and take a train which is also comfortable and the journey along the coast is also pleasant (you see all the South).
JUMP proposes to participants to be lodged by Villa Gabriella International B&B managed by our local partner C.T.E. CENTRO TERRITORIALE EUROPEO company (https://closertoeurope.com/). The Villa has 7 big and comfortable rooms continuously renovated but also preserving the typical “old times” atmosphere of a very local house of Southern beach place. The Villa has many spaces for activities, a training room, the breakfast room, the terrace and flowers all around. It’s located in a peaceful and safe district called “Cittadella” surrounded by hills of olive trees and other Villas. JUMP created a network of other similar b&b for when participants are more than 12, in order to assure the same quality with an amazing breakfast, all comforts and an international environment. Villa Gabriella is also the JUMP headquarters for the general management of our activity. The Villa is the meeting point for all guests during all trainings and it’s where we realize all project activities.
Thanks to the cooperation with the C.T.E. company Jump provides lodging in 2 villas and if the groups are big, we have cooperation with all the owners of b&b and bigger hotels.
A brand new local partner, an innovative company offering touristic services with another vision and perspective. Discover Calabria and enjoy the local culture making experiential learning and practical labs with local people, but also simply a more sustainable tourism at local level.
The transfer from and to the airport is provided by C.T.E
