Support & Admin Staff Training

Almost all professional learning and development skips over your support and front office staff. We don’t. 
 
As a vital role in the smooth operations of any school, your support staff are missing out on the essential skills they need to collaborate and communicate more effectively with the entire school community. 
 
Close the gap between what your support staff already know and what they need to know by empowering them with the fundamental skills. 

Ready to close the gap in your school?

Get your support staff on board with our interactive workshops that develop their existing skills and boost their confidence using digital platforms. We provide essential training in native accessibility tools so they can better support students with diverse learning needs. 
 
With increased confidence support staff will be more efficient, more organised and more empowered to communicate more effectively with students and teachers. 

They will get hands-on experience using some of the best apps, extensions and tools that will make a real difference in how their students engage with their learning journey. 

Here’s What Leanne, A Teacher Aide Had To Say About Our Training:

I came away feeling so much more confident using Chromebooks. It was explained in such a way that I could relate it to something physical. The whole session was very relaxing and stress-free. I’m looking forward to more sessions in the future!

Digital Fluency Training 

Enable greater productivity, efficiency and effective communication workflows using your existing school
platform whether that is Google, Microsoft or Apple.  

Leverage Accessibility Tools to Promote Equity 

Many of the platforms that schools use day-to-day to
facilitate student learning are rich with in-built accessibility
tools that can be used to level the playing field for our
learners. The problem is staff don’t know they are there or
how to use them to meet the needs of the individual students they work with.
