Our wealth of experience in Indian and international school settings underpins the effective services we provide to deliver clear, observable improvements for students, teachers and leaders.
Initial Steps
1) Initial online discussion and onsite visit,
2) we prepare a time-framed, costed proposal for approval.
3) On acceptance, a detailed plan is shared with stakeholders
4) explanatory presentations are prepared and
5) training materials are customised.
Depending on the brief, our work with schools may take place all on-site over a continuous period, or partially split between on-site and distance meetings, held at regular intervals during the course of a school term or academic year. Some assignments are best suited to short, intensive application, others to implementation over a longer time period.
