Why Educate Group’s Teacher Training?
Our Vision: A Classroom Tailored to Every Teacher and Student
Remember when you were back at school and there was that one teacher whose class you just couldn’t wait to attend? Their lessons felt like a cool TV show you’d binge-watch. Well, the Educate Group wants to help you be that teacher. We believe in a well-sequenced curriculum built on solid academic literature and seasoned with the experiences of our expert Teacher Educators. Whether you’re into Pythagoras’ theorem or the poetry of Keats, we’re here to equip you with all the right tools to deliver high-quality teaching that captivates young minds.
Personal Anecdote: Chalking Up Success
Let me take you back to a first day leading a classroom. Picture this: eager eyes, restless feet, and you, heart pounding like it was front-row at a rock concert. Fast forward through a year of guiding lightbulb moments and learning from your classes as much as they learned from you. This is the golden experience that Educate Group’s Teacher Training offers, and as the saying goes, it’s not just about covering the material, it’s about discovering the material—together with your students.
The Practicality of Teacher Training with Us
From Theory to Practice: Your Classroom Awaits
Now, let’s get down to basics. With Educate Group, you’re not just a fly on the wall—you’re in the driver’s seat. Our training is hands-on and school-based.You’re not just learning the theory; you’re living it in a real classroom environment. What’s cooler than that? Plus, you get to train in a school that’s practically your neighbour, which means less commute time and more ‘you’ time.
We remember a mentor from the program telling us, “The heart of teaching is teaching from the heart.” Believe me, there’s no better place to learn that than in the thick of things, where every day is a new scene in your very own teaching sitcom.
Support Every Step of the Way
As you navigate your way through lesson plans and parent-teacher meetings, the Educate Group is like your backstage crew, making sure your show goes on without a hitch. With a Link Tutor for one-on-one support and a network of mentors in your corner, you’re never alone. They’ve got your back with timely advice, constructive feedback, and yes, a bit of TLC when those surprise moments test your mettle.

One of our team talks about theirs still – Mr. Thomas, an experienced educator with a knack for turning complex concepts into relatable stories.
