Who should attend?
- New scheme or beginning teachers.
- Teachers with less than 5 years experience.
- Experienced teachers who would like a refresher or ‘top up’ on classroom/behaviour management and teaching study skills ideas.
Top 3 Reasons to attend:
- Having practical strategies to manage difficult and disruptive students and classes means less stress for teachers and more meaningful learning for students.
- Knowing how to help students in the areas of time management, study notes, and how to improve the way students study means you can help students achieve better results.
- Participants who have attended the two previously booked out days have consistently rated the day as excellent providing a wealth of ideas to help them become better teachers.
Teachers have found this workshop useful because the day offers two presenters both with a teaching background presenting practical ideas that teachers can immediately take away and implement.
You can be sure that when any member of your staff attends this workshop they will return to your school with the following key skills enhanced.
Outcomes:
- Managing difficult students and classes allowing more time for learning.
- Developing a behaviour plan for individual students and classes.
- Learning how to prevent disruptive behaviour and increase student engagement.
- Communicating using a 5 step script that creates student responsibility.
- Presenting interventions to both executive staff and parents in a professional way.
- Teaching students not only what to learn but how to learn.
- Showing students how to study, manage their time and create study notes.
- Increasing students’ ability to learn by demonstrating how using learning styles and advanced memory techniques can assist learning.
Here's a sample of what we cover on the day:
In addition to professional development days, we also have the following products and services for schools:
- Tailored presentations to some or all of your staff at the school (contact us for pricing).
