This study examined the potential of the GROW (Goal, Reality, Options, Will) coaching model for developing teachers’ and principals’ competencies through a scoping review approach. Using the PRISMA framework, 20 peer-reviewed studies published between 2015 and 2022 were analysed to identify trends in research focus, methodological approaches and competency domains addressed through GROW-based coaching. The findings indicate that the GROW coaching model is predominantly applied to the development of teachers’ pedagogical competencies, particularly in relation to instructional planning, teaching strategies and reflective practice. For school principals, the model is mainly associated with the development of managerial and supervisory competencies. A closer analysis revealed that different stages of the GROW model correspond to specific competency domains, with setting goals and reflecting on situations that support pedagogical development, while strategic decision-making and action commitment support leadership-related competencies. Overall, the results suggest that the GROW coaching model functions as a structured reflective mechanism rather than a prescriptive training approach, which makes it suitable for competency-based professional development in education. However, the review also highlights gaps in the development of personal competencies and emerging digital competencies, which indicates directions for future research and practice. © 2025, FACTEACHEREDUCATION.
