6 — Framework for gender mainstreaming in coach education

Identifying Key Areas for Integration

Gender should be integrated at both structural and instructional levels. The key areas include:

  • Institutional Strategy: Gender equality objectives should be embedded into institutional visions and long-term strategies.
  • Curriculum and Materials: Gender should be integrated not only into specific modules but also throughout general content (e.g., leadership, ethics, psychology).
  • Training Delivery: Gender-sensitive teaching methods and inclusive pedagogical practices should be standard.
  • Assessment and Certification: Evaluation criteria should consider the application of inclusive coaching strategies.

Mainstreaming must occur during initial training, continuing education, and periodic re-certification to ensure long-term impact.
