I design and deliver tailored programmes for educators, to explore, question, and develop their professional practice and personal skills.

Purpose

Question status quo and provoke meaningful reflection, leading to positive changes in thinking and practices.
Ensure all members of the school community are recognised, respected, and encouraged to thrive.
Enabling learners to discover their personal, social, and intellectual worth in a safe and equitable learning environment.

Approach

I help you stay connected with your passion for education by encouraging you to break out of established patterns of working and explore new approaches. Together, we take time to understand your needs and specific context, support you to reconsider your everyday practices and identify where you can take risks. Based on this, I design tailor-made, transformative learning opportunities which allow you to move towards more progressive and rewarding professional experiences.

Method

My method is structured around three key stages:

Questioning and challenging personal beliefs and assumptions, alongside institutional conventions and practices.
Exploring potential and capacity for change by defining personal and institutional goals and addressing their obstacles.
Developing strategies for continued growth for individuals, teams and broader school communities.

" Anne seems to have found the perfect balance between friendly and professional. I especially enjoy the clarity of instructions & explanations. She fosters an open environment in which I felt perfectly comfortable to contribute. "

"No opinions are too much or too out there. Everyone's voice is heard and valued. Anne fosters a sense of community in the class and creates a safe space for all of us."

" I have always appreciated your openness and how supportive you have been with working with schools. You have a special ability to make an impact in education through your constructive approach and ability to listen. "

How does it work?

I start by listening and observing to discover more about your context, needs and expectations. I ask challenging questions and offer thought-provoking insights on what I see, hear, sense and know. Based on these insights I then design tailored programmes to accompany you in your reflective practice and professional development.

What are the programmes?

Programmes vary to suit you. They may include personal coaching, individual lesson visits, instructional coaching, practical workshops, team focus groups and bespoke courses.

Can’t I do this myself?

Our school days get busier every year. It’s difficult to get alone time (let alone with colleagues) to reflect deeply on our practices. All the while, we come up against more and more challenges demanding more reflection, creativity, and collaboration. Our ‘free’ time is often spent doing admin tasks or in meetings which add extra work rather than focus on our jobs and teaching practices. Thanks to the opportunities I provide, you will develop new ideas and tools which will help you maintain higher motivation, engagement, and satisfaction in your everyday professional life.

You’ll come away with:

A fresh outlook on best practices from evidence-based research
A personalised plan to maintain the benefits of your professional development long-term
Strengthened confidence in your skills
Extended support through a community of professionals
