facilitating 21st century skills through Cooperative Learning
The CPD courses outlined here serve as a point of reference and any delivery includes a free and non-committal consultation; courses are modular, and content and example materials are always tailored to your unique requirements.
I also design and deliver special sessions directly to your students or stakeholders.
See the Norwich High School for Girls tailored workshop Life in the Global Village.
Please contact me for all enquiries regarding such tailored events or if you have an interesting research & development project. Especially LAs, trusts or associations looking to share best practices effectively across sites will benefit from Cooperative Learning.
