Leadership
With over 12 years experience of researching leadership in a range of educational settings, I offer INSETs on leadership:
at a classroom level for teachers, leading learning and managing support for their children;
at a departmental level, leading colleagues through the changes of curriculum and delivery;
at a whole school and Senior Leadership level, leading the development of school and teachers to help your school grow.
Thinking and Learning Skills
Teaching children how to think is crucial in a world where so much knowledge can be found at the touch of a screen. INSET on thinking and learning skills equips teachers to develop independent thinkers, creative and innovative learners and collaborative workers within and beyond the classroom. With inspiration for outdoor learning, and building resilience in our learners, we can nurture a love of learning, building skills for an ever-changing world. Contact me for further information.
