Abstract: Introduction: Pilot examined coaching in Slovak kindergarten, primary and secondary schools and integrated a SWOT. Methods: Interviews with principals/teachers (n=29); uniform definitions; thematic synthesis. Results: Benefits: communication, feedback, reflection, team culture. Barriers: time/logistics, capacity, long-term commitment, unclear coach qualifications; threat: pro-forma uptake. Opportunities: mentoring/supervision, management development. Specifics: kindergarten low-cost; primary burnout prevention; secondary change management. Discussion: Requires leadership support and gradual, context-adapted implementation. Limitations: Qualitative, non-random sample; no causal inference. Conclusions: Mixed-design studies should quantify change and compare models.
