Former teacher goes back to school to improve performance

A former teacher is aiming to help raise the performance levels of schools in the region. Joo-Lee Stock has directed her passion about developing teachers and children into starting up her own business, Joo–Lee Stock Coaching, to motivate and inspire teachers. The coaching is organised around helping the teachers to become self-sufficient and to drive themselves, rather than relying on senior managers to solve problems.

Joo-Lee, a former director of performing arts from Durham, said: “Every teacher is passionate about developing children, however, the demands of teaching are such that full potential is never reached. I coach newly appointed and promoted teachers in secondary schools to bring out their true potential within the classroom.

“This is a great time to start up as the government lead Department for Education Skills have implemented a five year strategy for children and learners to improve, and coaching is on the agenda.”

She works on a one-to-one basis, as well as with groups and departments. The sessions include increased communication, understanding school ethos, forward thinking, and how to solve problems. The sessions focus on improving motivation, reducing absenteeism, managing stress and improving overall performance.
