PREPARE FOR THE POSITIVE ENERGY
WHAT HOW WE DO IT
: REALITY CHECK
NEWS FLASH
The hours can be long, the paper work doesn’t stop and what feels like endless emails can sometimes feel like teaching is no fun at all. We all need a reminder. A refresher. Why we got into teaching in the first place.
Education is about sparking fires, not filling buckets. We all need guidance to keep us on track, remind us of our strengths and why we do what we do and to ensure we’re all in this together, going in the same direction and beating the same drum.
: Fact not fiction
Techniques that work
During your keynote your team will enjoy strategies and cognitive frameworks that work in the real world. Not a death by power point stream of data. Informed techniques that are proven to work. It goes way beyond a ‘traditional’ keynote and is part rock concert – part academic adventure. Tied up with engaging true stories that build rapport with your teachers and ensure the messages are heard and acted upon.
: We’re in this together
Picture this…
Your team walk out of the keynote with a spring in their step. Reinvigorated with new ideas, new concepts and new techniques, itching to put them into practice. Your key messages have been listened to, engaged with and explored. Now you have an empowered team of educators chomping at the bit to crack on and inspire their students with a renewed passion for delivering high impact educational experiences.
