Products & Services

 

I am ready to 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, Trust or associations looking to share best practices effectively will benefit from Cooperative Learning.

 

I always recommend schools from same trust or hub should join up for sessions. Cooperative Learning accentuates benefit of different perspectives, facilitates personal networking and secures organised, effective meetings.

 

... Ms Jessica Brosnan, of the Teacher Development Trust, has unwittingly written a better article on why Cooperative Learning should be adopted...

Commenting on the famous Sutton Trust-EEF Teaching and Learning Toolkit, this article posits the structural approach as the most effective form of collaborative learning, bar none.

 

The Sutton Trust-EEF Teaching and Learning Toolkit provides guidance for schools on how to best use their resources to improve the attainment of disadvantaged pupils. Collaborative strategies top the list of cost-effective approaches, giving evidence of 5 additional months’ progress over a year ...

Effective Cooperative Learning at under £5 per pupil

 

The best investment of CPD funds in every case

 

DfE-promoted research by the Education Endowment Foundation estimates the average cost for collaborative approaches at about £20 per pupil per year, based exclusively on the cost of training or professional development.

 

Compare this yearly expense to a one-off charge of £4.5 per pupil to a 200-pupil school of twenty staff doing the £900 Skills & Mastery course over six months.

 

Add to these figures the best-practice approaches implicitly and explicitly integrated in Cooperative Learning, such as Feedback, Peer Tutoring, Metacognition & Self-Regulation and Social and Emotional Learning, at a combined cost of as much as £3000 per pupil per year in ongoing costs.

 

 

 

“The impact on progress alone means

this is very much worth the money...”

 

- Glenn Russell, head of Stalham Academy,

assessing long-term effect of Skills & Mastery, 2015

Cost-Effectiveness of Cooperative Learning.

 

 

 

Unlike most full-spectrum programmes, the content-void nature of Cooperative Learning means your previous CPD investments will seamlessly integrate with, and often be strengthened by, any Werdelin Education course.

 

There are no further expenses: All these courses work with any teaching materials currently used in your school, and there is no inherent requirement for more CPD.

 

Full-spectrum and flexible, attainment and social skills, classbuilding and community; nothing but Cooperative Learning will offer anything remotely like this, even at four times the price.

 

For Cooperative Learning courses, the current charge to schools £150 per hour for blocks of 20 attendees, excluding VAT. This price includes handouts to each participant, delivery to your school or other venue of your choice,* and adaption to your lesson plans and unique requirements.

 

This pricing structure is the sake of effectiveness, as we recommend each school commit all teaching staff, including teaching assistants, in the relevant year groups or departments.

 

Courses may be delivered to several schools at a time, to a maximum of 40 participants per session. This means three small primaries may choose to share costs, reducing a 6 hour course to £300 for each schools with no less effect.

 

Content specific courses, such as Islam in RE, are charged at seperate rates. Please ask for a quote. (Werdelin Education reserves the right to offer special concessions to institutions of our choice).

 

Please explore individual courses in the courses tab above or contact me directly.

 

 

 

* Travel beyond London and Midlands, or extra tailored materials and chargable venues are not automatically included.

‘Passive students expect knowledge to be passively transferred to them (...) This may be a legacy from the common, spoon-fed approach to knowledge ‘transfer’ in second level education in an all too often teacher-centred learning environment”
