Training
Invigorate, inform and inspire.
INSET is available as one-day, half-day or residential events or as one and two year on-going staff development programmes that are planned tightly to your needs. These events generate personal development in professional settings using a range of tools, psychometric instruments and a recognition of the importance of good humour in creating powerful learning experiences.
COURSES are presented in central venues for teachers from schools nationally to attend. Please watch the website for announcements. Previous events selected from the wide range of Futuremind Inset titles, have included ‘You’ve Got Style’, ‘Effective Questioning’, ‘Handling Difficult Conversations’ and ‘Outstanding Teachers Do This!’
CONFERENCES are run on a bi-annual basis and provision events have included teaching and learning, leadership and mindfulness.
