| Abstract | Coaching approaches can facilitate highly effective tutorial conversations that facilitate student identification and activation of their most ambitious aspirations, solutions, and methods for achieving their goals. This chapter provides three playful methods for facilitating coaching approaches: Lego® model-building; images; and the Japanese philosophy of ‘Ikigai’. These methods can generate student thinking that goes deeper than transactional conversations engender, creating a culture in which students proactively own their greatest goals and have agency over the actions they take towards achieving them. |
