This service is available to both classroom teachers and instrumental/vocal specialists.
Developing your teaching and maintaining professional currency takes significant time, effort, and enthusiasm. A great way to refine your approach and sustain career momentum can be achieved by booking in for one or several one-to-one or small-group Teacher Consultancy sessions.
These specialised sessions can provide a ‘fresh lens’ approach and are ideal for situations where teacher upskilling is required. They can also focus on general or specialised pedagogical-related issues, as well as assist with the development of teaching materials.
The nature of these flexible sessions is quite informal and relaxed, and communication can resemble one-to-one or small group settings, depending on the situation. Small group teacher exchanges can be particularly useful if you are seeking to network, share ideas and perspectives, discuss issues, gain input and feedback, gather resources, or develop a particular facet of your teaching.
