"Nuances and Undercurrents: What is fear making you step away from?"
Our fantastic new course for teacher development skills encourages teachers to understand more about group dynamics, and shows tangible improvements for teacher confidence.
"Nuances and Undercurrents: What is fear making you step away from?" explores 'what's underneath the problem?' allowing frank discussion as per Susan Jeffers 'Feel the fear and do it anyway' theory that nothing is scarier than operating from unacknowledged fears. Whether you have lots of newbie graduates or more experienced teachers struggling with the extra emotional load, this half day workshop presented by Mariyon 'What is fear making you step away from?' allows teachers to walk away feeling a sense of relief that a safe space is provided for discussing some of these sensitive concerns. Some of the topics include:
- Exploring the impact of our fear on our behaviour.
- What fears we may have about kids in classrooms.
- Link to our internal psychology & neuroscience.
- Group dynamics impact of our fears.

"Teachers as Facilitators: Hands-On Strategies for Student Motivation"
An exciting course using Education for Sustainability (EfS) learning strategies to assist teachers to 'gee up' motivation in their classroom
Camelia Popescu, former journalist, brand expert, and experienced VET lecturer with postgraduate qualifications in Education for Sustainability (Sustainability Champion 2014), brings seven years of teaching experience and train-the-trainer expertise to help teachers shift from information delivery to transformative facilitation.
This isn't about teaching sustainability content – it's about using proven EfS principles and pedagogy that create meaningful classroom experiences. These participatory, experiential approaches help teachers re-engage students through hands-on activities, critical thinking, and collaborative learning that make any subject matter come alive. Teachers walk away with practical tools they can use immediately to increase motivation and student ownership of their learning.
Camelia's goal is to inspire your teachers with transformative learning strategies that work across any curriculum area.
Transformative learning strategies for real classroom impact

Practical workshop activities include:
- Reflective practice techniques for ongoing professional development and self-awareness
- Experiential learning activities you can adapt straight into your classroom
- Participatory decision-making strategies that shift students from passive to active learners
- Systems thinking approaches that help students see connections and think critically
- Values clarification exercises that make learning personally relevant
- Collaborative facilitation methods that transform the teacher-student dynamic
