Professional development for educators

“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.”

William Arthur Ward

Here are a sample of the workshops I deliver to educators. These workshops can be delivered at a time to suit your operational requirements and in a location of your choice. Alternatively, I do offer public programs and members of your team can join one of those.

Workshops vary in duration from half-day, to one-day, and two-day retreats. Contact me for further information.

In this workshop I show how students can design and make a traditional board game. During the making of their game, the following can be enhanced and developed:

✅ Topic knowledge
✅ Teamwork
✅ Communication skills
✅ Computer skills
✅ Project management

This is a fantastic opportunity for  teachers to learn how to develop creative thinking in their classroom, as well as core skills.

 

Create professional audio visual presentations that can be taught to your students. Participants in this one-day workshop are taken step-by-step through the following features:

During this workshop I introduce EndNote or Mendeley, depending on which program your school uses.

This is a one-day workshop, during which I show participants how to source information and store this information in the relevant software.

I present a number of tips and show how to embed research activities as part of a class. I also show how to use the toolto present in-text citations and lists of references in Word or Pages.

The pathway from vocational education to higher education is often promoted; and in this workshop I present ideas to make this transition a viable alternative and a seamless transition.
I have worked with first year students who entered university via a vocational pathway, and as a result I have identified a number of strategies that can assist students.

Two-hour workshop

 

The need to work effectively with software cannot be understated, and knowing how to use a few of the tools in “Word” can save time.
