Professional Development for Teachers that incorporates the latest theories and is aligned to the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers.

This course provides established teachers (2 years+) with leading edge psychological tools and techniques to take their teaching to the next level whilst incorporating professional standards (1-5).

We provide practical classroom strategies that empower the teacher to change the way they work in the classroom. Using the latest research from Neuroscience and psychology we challenge teachers to think differently and open their perception.
