Services for Schools
Workshops and Training Services
All workshops and training courses are designed to utilise contemporary adult learning theories; valuing and leveraging the wealth of prior experience that teachers and educators bring into the professional development process. Additionally, workshops and courses are designed with the understanding that adults learn best when they are active participants in their learning and the learning can have immediate, practical applications to their working lives.
