CPD & Training
Empowering Your Staff
I can deliver a range of standard or bespoke sessions to your school staff either with technology or based around engagement and team building. Whether is using EdTech across the curriculum to specific training with key departments or leadership to enhance the wider use of technology, my training sessions are designed to be informative but with an engaging fun aspect.
With all of my sessions there will be a pre-training call with school leadership to ensure that the session meets the required points to support your wider school piece. I have worked closely with a number schools to deliver training to meet their needs. When working with schools or leading events, I aim to only have one per day ensuring that I can focus as much of my time onto your school to achieve the best possible standard of training
Whilst not coming from a direct teaching background, working within the primary education space, leading lessons and support curriculum decisions has provided me a unique insight into how teaching and learning can be directly impacted with technology. All of my sessions have an element of ‘Geeky-ness’ in theme but my core aim is supporting teaching and learning and empowering everyone to achieve more with technology.
Highly Requested CPD Sessions
Microsoft CPD Sessions
Since July 2020 I have been a Microsoft Certified MIE Trainer. I have recently retained my Microsoft MIE Master Trainer certification for a another year, enabling me to continue leading the way as a strong advocate for cloud based educational learning. Working with over 180+ schools/trusts nationally, delivering workshops and training sessions to school’s staff from all departments from CEO’s to Business Managers, Head of Departments to teaching assistants and technical staff. Being able to showcase what is truly possible with the Microsoft365 platform without having to spend huge amounts on external companies to support you on your journey.
The beneficial thing for schools is that all Microsoft sessions delivered by a certified MIE Trainer.
The EdTech Mindset
My new session is now available in CPD and public speaker form for your staff meetings or conferences.
The EdTech Mindset lifts the lid on the common misconceptions around technology and allows staff to build their own knowledge and confidence ready for their next lesson
Throughout this brand new session your staff/delegates will be taken on a journey to understand the basic form of technology and how skills that they already have can be used to empower their lessons further to engage and inspire the next generation.
The EdTech Mindset sessions are designed for all staff to take part in. With the way the world is evolving, everyone is now in touch with technology in some form. Ensuring they have the confidence to use it and understand it, will strengthen they way it is used throughout education. From teaching staff to support staff, governors to cleaners.
More details on the full agenda for the session and running times will be released soon. Discount pricing is available for purchase across multiple schools(cluster training)
Available Sessions
Below are a set of sessions that are readily available for booking for your next school training session/day or for larger cluster training events.
What sessions do I run?
Within reason, I can pretty much run a training session on anything technology based both for within education and externally. Whilst it might take a little longer to plan a session for a piece of software I haven’t used, I will always aim to support where possible.
Some of my favourite sessions to run are:
- Going Paperless with Office365
- Whole school GDPR and Cyber Security Basics
- Online Safety Basics for Parents
- Online/E-Safety lessons for pupils
- Office 365 Basics for teaching/support/admin/governor staff
- Using Office365 to enhance your curriculum
- Social Media S.A.F.E for all
How do I book onto a session?
All bookings are completed through Eventbrite, an online event booking system. The booking system will handle all of the information and booking confirmations, as well as provide you with all the key info regarding your training. All information will be handled under the Eventbrite privacy notice and all funds will be transacted using their network.
Are the sessions free?
For the vast majority of the webinar training sessions these will be free of charge. There is a donation option when booking to support me and the work that I am doing but this is optional.
For larger in person sessions where a venue is required, there will be a small charge to cover the cost of hiring the venue and to provide refreshments etc.
