Teaching and Learning
Every piece of research available tells us that high-quality teaching and learning is at the heart of improvements in students’ outcomes in the classroom. To achieve this teachers and classroom assistants need to be up to date with the latest research and strategies and given time to consider how these fit into their classroom. Our sessions will give them the knowledge, inspiration and space to do just that. Teachers will leave the session feeling challenged, yes, but also empowered and inspired to make effective change with their students.
Leadership Development
Many are called to leadership but as many are unprepared for the trials and tribulations of the role. They can quickly find themselves on the back foot or in deep water when attempting to lead and inspire those around them. Whether they are new to leadership or in the role for a while, our leadership courses will challenge, empower and transform them as leaders and help bring new momentum to your organisation.
Study Skills Development
Our study skills programmes for students in all year groups and parents directly answer the question: How do we study? Our hugely popular sessions will empower students to study independently and effectively, enabling them to reach their full potential. They will leave the session ready to take on the exam challenge!
During the sessions students will explore areas such as: organisation and time management; interrogating key notes; memory and retrieval practice; and wellbeing and resilience. Also check out our refreshed programmes year 8 student entitled KICKSTART, and our new advance study skills programme READY STEADY STUDY PLUS.
We all learn in different ways …
Learn Spark Virtual
Learn Spark are delighted to offer the following range of virtual courses which can be booked by schools and colleges for their students and staff.
Student Development
Every school and college seeks the holistic development of their students. These courses will equip and empower students with the skills, attitudes and drive they need to achieve and thrive in school, work and life. The sessions are completely interactive with practical activities throughout. Students will be involved in team challenges, debates, discussions, self-reflection and role-plays. Their feet won’t touch the ground. They will leave the session energised and inspired, ready to take on the world!
Literacy Development
‘Lacking vital literacy skills holds a person back at every stage of their life. As a child they won’t be able to succeed at school, as a young adult they will be locked out of the job market, and as a parent they won’t be able to support their own child’s learning.’
– National Literacy Trust
Literacy permeates all aspects of life and is essential to allow all students to access the curriculum. Guiding students to effectively speak, read and write is at the core of high-quality learning and teaching, and in preparing students to acquire life-long Literacy skills.
Personal Effectiveness
To be effective in work and life we need to make use of all our talents, strengths, skills, energy and time. It’s the focus on the development of these areas, both personally and professionally, that will determine whether we achieve our career and personal goals. Our Personal Effectiveness courses will equip your staff with the skills and confidence they need to push through their barriers and overcome their obstacles helping them achieve success.
We have the recipe for successful training!
