TeachAbout:

Simply teaching about teaching!

How do you maintain your passion for teaching and education whilst avoiding overwhelm? 

 

How do you juggle multiple domains of your role:

- The demands of the classroom and your relationship with pupils, parents and colleagues?

- The need for theory to underpin your knowledge and understanding of education?

- The collating of evidence to show that you have the required learning outcomes and/or teacher standards?

 

Lose the feeling that you're doing the same thing over and over again!

I can show you how to work in a way where  practice, theory and evidencing complement each other and combine to enable you to attain excellence in teaching!

TeachAbout® :

Simply teaching about teaching

Keeping it simple means avoiding

  • Information overload
  • Approaches that require more time and resources than you have
  • Confusion of how data and theory relate to your actual practice
  • The struggle to meet Teacher Standards or learning outcomes

And above all ...

  • Means that  you DO NOT have to take on additional work to enhance your professional development! 

 

The TeachAbout® approach

 

I will provide you with succinct, accessible and evidence-based resources which:

 

  • Present key knowledge and identify specific actions for you to take to transform your practice immediately.

 

  • Enable you to learn in a way which suits you and when it suits you by providing a range of written, audio and visual formats.

 

  • Guide you on how theory and data can be your friend and how they can - and should - underpin and enhance your practice.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ways I can work with you !

TeachAbout® is about you!

What level of support do you need?

"I'm happy to go it alone..."

That's great! TeachAbout® is set up so that you can do just that.

Our courses and resources are so clear that you can use them in your own way, at your own pace and implement the strategies as appropriate in your practice.

 

"I want to be able to discuss what I'm working on and network with others."

You don't have to go it alone - you can have access to an online community and network with others sharing your journey. 

You can find me Facebook where I create communities to support my memberships.

You can also see my business page: https://www.facebook.com/Advocate4Inclusion/

 

"I  need more support to meet my needs; guidance and mentoring are what I'm missing in the training I've had in the past."

Perfect - you can get all the help you need.  I offer many ways of working with me with different levels of support.  My range of services provided is growing weekly!

I provide a range of 'live' training in addition to running group workshops and facilitating group discussion, reflection and sharing of practice. 

I am currently available to work with small groups and 1:1 upon request, but will be developing specific programs of personalised (group / individual) support in the future.

 

If you need a bespoke session or package - just contact me and discuss your needs.
