Professional Development which Brings Evidence into Practice.
At See the Mountain, we understand the pressures on school leaders and teachers. Our professional development service supports teachers in transferring educational research into their classrooms as efficiently as possible, to better support your student’s retention and transfer of knowledge.
Teachers will critically engage with relevant literature and deliberately practice techniques to translate this into their practice. School leaders will be supported in assessing the impact of professional development. All schools will receive follow up consultations and aftercare, ensuring our events have lasting impact on classroom practices.
