Teacher-quality training is an evergrowing essential part of the classroom and an important contribution towards the development of child education. Empowered teachers serve to empower children, and during my presentation, I will focus on various approaches to empowering teachers through setting personal benchmarks for teacher learning,  written and recorded mental rehearsals. Through these methods, I will illustrate how empowering teachers can inspire and promote exceptional student learning.

Boarding schools have been an integral part of the global education landscape for many years. However, in more recent times, boarding school operations have felt the need to rapidly evolve to remain an attractive, viable and cost-effective option. The challenge to provide all the ‘comforts and luxuries of home’ whilst concurrently enabling student growth, development and independence has never been greater. Boarding schools consistently operate beyond expectation to care and provide for the students entrusted into their care. Improved customer satisfaction and positive word of mouth are ever-present on boarding agendas. The continual quest to find that something special, a marketing edge, that will not only improve the student experience but will also create momentum and hopefully increase numbers. Boarding can and does provide financial stability for many educational establishments and this ensures that the pressure to deliver an outstanding product is ever-present.
