Are you ready to take the first step?
Gowrie NSW’s Education Hub consultancy services is the first step towards inspiring, enriching and strengthening the skill set of your leadership team and educative team through our bespoke professional learning.
We believe that professional learning occurs when educators and teachers engage in interactive and collaborative, sustained learning. Our workshops are not designed as one-off sessions. Multiple part workshops over time provide opportunities to engage in deep reflection allowing time and space to embed knowledge and understanding, whilst developing a growth mindset.
Our Approach
Our consultancy offers a hybrid learning environment, including;
- in-person and online bespoke workshops
- mentoring and coaching opportunities
- bespoke professional learning.
Combined with your vision, we work alongside your service or organisation to deliver individualised professional learning that will benefit not only your learners, but your community of families and children too.
Our approach is innovative, contemporary and evolving, whilst grounded in theory and research. We are deeply proud of our strong, practical and pedagogical foundation, enriching the professional learning experience for you and your team.
