INSET and CPD for Schools, Colleges and Universities

Much of Mike’s work is with Teachers; he was a teacher for over 15 years. He now runs INSET and CPD (Continuing Professional Development) sessions which promote the use of skills associated with body language, presentation and vocal management.

In the stressful world of teaching, effective communication is vital. Are your colleagues communicating in the very best way possible with students, parents and colleagues? Do they know the right techniques for diluting difficult - possibly confrontational - situations? Do they all have the best strategies in place for remaining calm and in control all the time? Are they able to communicate that sense of authority which is so vital to all teachers? And do your staff know all the body language signals a student displays when he/she is feeling vulnerable or is underachieving?

If you want to ensure that levels of communication within your school are high then your staff will all benefit from Mike’s INSET training.

The main aims of Mike’s training sessions for teachers are:

to increase the general awareness of the power of Body Language and therefore enable teachers to perform to much higher standards both in and out of the classroom
to learn how to manage and dilute potentially confrontational situations with students and parents by adopting specific body language techniques
to learn how to interpret the body language of others and identify children who are vulnerable, suffering, and underachieving
to learn how to manage the voice and avoid damage to the vocal folds.

Mike’s training sessions are usually half a day in length, although he is happy to run shorter twilight sessions or individual training sessions. He also runs sessions for students (such as interview technique or as part of a PHSE programme).
