Numerous teachers say it is the best PD they have ever been to.
Graduate teachers say they wish they were taught this at university.
Experienced teachers ask: ‘Why has this not been done before now?!’

"The BRAIN is central to the LEARNING process
– so if we’re in the business of LEARNING
- doesn’t it make sense that we know how the BRAIN LEARNS best?"

I’m a teacher - not a brain-scientist. Why do I need to know how my students’ brains work?

Our students’ BRAINS are inherently involved in the LEARNING experiences we provide for them, and yet most of us simply don’t know how their BRAINS LEARN BEST – let alone what we might be unknowingly doing that physically stops their brain from having the capability to be engaged & attentive, enjoy lessons, behave in a productive, healthy manner, or learn effectively.

Would you like to know exactly how to make simple, easy, evidence-based choices in your lesson structure, instruction methods, learning tasks & activities, feedback, and assessments, to ENGAGE students & help them learn as ENJOYABLY & EFFECTIVELY as possible;
whilst also learning how to manage your own stress and boost your own well-being - and that of your students, at the same time?

Our energetic Teacher Professional Development reignites a teacher’s passion and reminds them of why they chose to become a teacher in the first place; to help young people realise & reach their incredible true potential, so they can be happy, healthy, successful & satisfied.
 And, importantly, we share with teachers exactly how they can achieve this goal - all based on cutting-edge science!

Instead of focusing on what we don't want, we focus more on what we do want - so you can do the same!

It's simple - and it works.

Instead of focusing on staff & student stress - we boost staff & student well-being.
Instead of focusing on bad behaviour - we increase student feelings of safety & engagement.
Instead of focusing on bullying - we encourage compassion & kindness.
Instead of focusing on distracted students - we gain student attention and maintain it.
Instead of focusing on lack of effort or motivation - we make learning meaningful & relevant.
Instead of focusing on dealing with disinterested parents - we engage parents as collaborative partners.
Instead of focusing on anxiety - we build student resilience & self-acceptance.
Instead of focusing on low achievement - we improve student memory, thinking & understanding.

And, best of all, we show teachers, students & parents how it's easier than you think to do this too!

How does our Teacher Professional Development workshop meet the 
AITSL Australian Professional Standards for Teachers? ...we're glad you asked!

AITSL states: “As a teacher, it’s your role to grow and develop the minds in your classroom.”
There’s simply no better way to do this than to understand how a student’s mind and brain works, learns and grows best!

Our minds and our brains are used every second of every day, for everything we learn, think, feel and do, so as AITSL says, "to help prepare young people to lead successful and productive lives” it’s imperative that we as teachers understand in detail how our students’ minds and brains work best - and empower them with this knowledge too.

Our Teacher PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Workshop perfectly aligns with all 7 AITSL standards

Standard 1: “Know students and how they learn.”
Quite literally, this is exactly what our workshop achieves. Our brain is used in all learning that we do, so how can we possibly ‘know students and how they learn’  if we don’t know how their minds and brains work and learn best?!

Standard 2: “Know the content and how to teach it.”
Regardless of the content being taught, we explain how to teach it in the most enjoyable, effective and easiest way possible - all based on how our students’ brains learn best.

Standard 3: “Plan for and implement effective teaching and learning.”
We explore this standard in detail as it is specifically about how to plan and implement the most effective teaching and learning, based on the latest in Educational Neuroscience & Psychology - all backed by evidence and research.

Standard 4: “Create and maintain supportive and safe learning environments.”
We help teachers empower students to cope with bullying, making mistakes, building self-confidence and resilience, self-regulating & managing their emotions & more, to create a supportive, safe learning environme; and we explain why this is essential for effective learning.

Standard 5: “Assess, provide feedback and report on student learning.”
We discuss the most engaging and worthwhile types of assessments, their implementation and the benefits of behaviour-specific feedback and praise.

Standard 6: “Engage in professional learning.”
This one is obvious.

Standard 7: “Engage professionally with colleagues, parents/carers and the community.”
In our workshops, teachers will share ideas and solutions with each other, and will discuss their new understandings during the PD. We also discuss the importance of the whole school community being on the same page, and the benefits of communicating many of the points discussed with parents, and how to go about this.
