Whole School Professional Development
Schools typically tailor professional development plans using elements from our ‘Temple Menu’. For schools that are new to implementing metacognition and self-regulation at a whole-school level, we often recommend starting with our Core Approach. When effectively embedded, this approach provides a strong foundation and positions schools well to achieve Thinking School accreditation from the University of Exeter.
Our ‘Core Approach’ consists of the equivalent of five full training days (over a period of months/years) with a combination of your ‘Drive Team’ or whole staff and the support of one of our consultants working with you throughout. The training can be delivered both online and/or on-site to suit your setting and budget. SEE FULL DETAILS
