Coaching Toolkit for Child Welfare

Final Thoughts and

Reflections

The Coaching Toolkit for Child Welfare Practice is developed to provide
guidance in the development and implementation of a formal,
professional coaching program within the child welfare context. We
have aimed to provide the best, most effective information to the
reader, harvested from a wide field of academic literature on
coaching. While the methods presented in this toolkit are not
necessarily new or surprising, they are integrated in a logical and
intuitive way. We hope this toolkit will provide solid, practical
information on coaching within child welfare organizations to better
support families and obtain positive child outcomes.

Overall reflections

 Which sections of the Coaching Toolkit are most relevant to your
work in child welfare services?

 How will the Toolkit serve to improve your work with either
learners or coaches in the child welfare organization?

 If you are implementing a new program within child welfare
services, how will you begin to address the need for coaching?
