The Consortium’s Coaching Collaborative
In 2021, the Florida Consortium of Metropolitan Research Universities (FCMRU) was awarded a $1.25 million grant from the Helios Education Foundation. UCF’s responsibility under this grant is to offer coach training to the FCMRU’s institutions of UCF, FIU, and USF, along with their respective Florida state college partners.
The UCF Higher Education Coaching Academy designed and now offers the Consortium’s Coaching Collaborative. The Consortium’s Coaching Collaborative is an interactive and comprehensive 8-week/40-hour program offered to FCMRU partners, and is designed to teach fundamental coaching techniques and skills to those interested in becoming coaches and or wanting to apply coaching techniques to their work with students.
The goal of the Consortium’s Coaching Collaborative is to train 500 participants in the practice of coaching by 2025.
