Scheduled Zoom Workshops:

For this Autumn term we have replaced all our one day venue based courses with these carefully designed three hour online workshops delivered via Zoom. This platform enables us to maintain our interactive, engaging and practical style of delivery. The feedback from the summer term confirmed that the transfer to online training was very successful and our delegates are really happy with the new format.

Choose from a wide range of topics and experience time-efficient and cost-effective training that will equip you with highly effective classroom-ready strategies and resources, as well as a safe space to explore the challenges of teaching in today's world.

If you would like to find out about group discounts or running one of these workshops just for your staff then please contact: info@dragonfly-training.co.uk or call 029 20 711 787 .

"I have taken so many ideas away to bring back to school to fit with our T and L policy. Steve was happy to answer any questions and it was organised superbly – the individual rooms for paired discussion was a great tool – Zoom CPD might be the future! Thanks again – really informative and a great pace to the course. Time flew by!"

"That was great - our staff are buzzing over the examples of strategies that they can use and it was such a nice session to all be able to join and engage with together after so long of being apart! Thanks so much, I really enjoyed it!"

Assistant Headteacher - Our Lady & St John Catholic College

'Metacognition' - whole staff online training

"It was an extremely useful and incredibly informative training - commented on by most participants. The trainer was excellent, quite clearly had done most of the things shown and shared and was very experienced in supporting HA students in a school setting. The materials and examples used to support the training were fantastic and completely real life."

Head of Department - City of Leicester Technology College

'Stretch and Challenge Your Most Able Students' - whole staff online training - July 2020

"As a school we have had a great response to the training delivered by Dave Taylor. Liking the course leader is always a win when you are teaching the worst students - teachers!"

Head of HR - Eerde International Boarding School, Netherlands

'Teaching EAL Pupils in the Mainstream Classroom' - small group online training - May 2020

"The course was excellent in my opinion - the first two sections in particular. He keeps on top of the latest ideas and research out there and gave instantly transferable ideas for my classroom teaching but also a wider context and strategies to put in a programme to train students to be independent learners. The time just flew by - always a good sign."
