Courses        

These 'train-the-trainer' courses are the most cost effective way for schools to deliver their own courses to a number of teachers.  This is also a powerful model as Facilitators receive intensive training and support materials that will help them provide high quality professional learning and ongoing support for teachers.

Resources

Our resources are not programs or packages.  They provide a basis on which teachers can make informed professional judgements about the needs of students.  Each resource is research-based and has been designed to support teachers by providing practical curriculum resources such as books and CD ROMS. All resources complement on-going teacher-centred professional development that is focused on long-term sustainable positive school change.
