Stress Less, Teach More:

Personalised coaching sessions tailored to individual needs with experienced English language and literature coaches.

Session times are set according to the requirements of the participant.

Support shouldn’t stop when the session ends. With our ongoing email support, help is available when you need it.

We believe in the power of consistent feedback, and it is also a fundamental requirement for the Australian Teacher Performance and Development Framework.

Staying updated with the latest research in education can seem impossible, but we can help sift through it and locate the studies that offer practical applications for you in your classroom or school. You can stay ahead of the curve, integrating cutting edge practices into your teaching.

Navigating curriculum changes can sometimes feel like building a house of cards in the middle of a cyclone. We can offer clear guidance on the new Australian curriculum, making transitions smooth and stress free. You will be able to confidently implement curriculum updates, ensuring compliance and excellence in teaching standards.

Assessing student comprehension can sometimes feel like guesswork. We can suggest useful formative assessment methods which accurately gauge and enhance their understanding. You will be able to tailor your teaching to meet each student’s needs, fostering a deeper level of learning.

Take advantage of our extensive experience in English and literature classrooms.

We know that no matter how good your planning may be, it can all fall apart when you get into the classroom. But we can help you find more strategies to re-engage students.

Creating engaging lessons doesn’t need to be daunting. We can help you craft interactive plans that engage your students but are flexible enough to allow for the many variations that teachers are faced with daily. You will develop a knack for designing lessons that not only educate but also inspire.

Building a network of like-minded professionals can be incredibly enriching but also time consuming. There are a vast number of online professional learning networks (PLNs), some tailored to English educators, some to school leadership and some to introducing technology, to name but a few.

These connections will provide ongoing support, inspiration, and collaboration opportunities long after our sessions end.

You can revisit your work whenever you want. It may even merge with a digital teacher planner.

During our free 20 min discovery call we will discuss your goals, challenges, and aspirations. This helps us tailor the coaching sessions to your specific needs. It also lets you see if this professional development program is going to provide you with what you need.

Following the discovery call, if you wish to go ahead, we will send a simple MOU and invoice to your school or yourself. This step ensures that we all have a clear understanding of expectations and commitments.

Immediately the invoice is paid we will contact you to organise convenient times for our three 75-minute sessions.

Flexibility is key here, so we’ll work around your schedule to ensure you get the most out of our time together.

Before our first session, we will send you a brief questionnaire.

This helps us gather more detailed information about your teaching environment, student demographics, and specific areas you’d like to focus on.

In our initial session, we will dive deeply into your current teaching situation.

We will set concrete goals for what you want to explore and achieve.

At the end of the first session, you will have some practical tasks that you can implement immediately.

After each session, you’ll receive feedback and a progress assessment.

This will help you track your development and stay motivated.

Between sessions, you will have continuous email support.

Have a question or need advice?

Just shoot us an email, and we’ll be there to assist you.

This will depend on the individual goals, but we will ask you to reflect on your goals.

Hey, we are teachers. We can’t help it.

We will also introduce you to supportive and subject specific Professional Learning Networks (PLNs) for ongoing growth.

In our final session, we will tackle any remaining challenges and revisit your goals.

We will review your progress, celebrate your achievements, and outline next steps for continued success.

Also, we will check in from time to time to see how you’re doing. If that works for you.

All sessions are conducted live online via a user-friendly video conferencing platform, making it easy for you to attend from anywhere.

Session times are agreed to in consultation with the participant.

Absolutely! Again, the sessions are tailored in consultation with the participant. Whether looking for new classroom strategies or planning the next stage of their career, experienced teachers can benefit from the program. 

Absolutely, Obviously the program is tailored to the needs of the participant, but we are teachers, so the program is created to support and promote both the Australian Teacher Performance and Development Framework and the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers.

We Teach Well endorses wholeheartedly the idea that supporting a teacher’s professional growth is the best way to ensure that all students become successful learners, confident and creative individuals and active, informed citizens. *

The coach will model and support the standards of professional knowledge, professional practice, and professional engagement as set out by the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers. (APST) 

*Australian Teacher Performance and Development Framework. p.3

The Framework requires that teacher performance and development processes and goals should reflect the overall approach to teaching and learning within a school and should be consistent with the school plans. So, it would be good if the participant is aware of these.

We understand that the cost of the program may be covered by the school’s professional development budget. It is therefore understandable that the school may want to know how the sessions are going.

However, effective coaching and mentoring relies on a relationship of trust. Teachers in the program need to know that their sessions are confidential, within the parameters of the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers.

Schools will have the opportunity of submitting requests for particular issues to be addressed. They will also receive a completion report at the end of the program; however, they will not have access to the content of the sessions.

No, the Framework aims to promote genuine professional conversations that improve teaching and minimise the risk that administrative and bureaucratic requirements will become the focus. 

(You see what I did there? My language got all formal. That was the interpretation given by the QIEU)

Refunds can be considered up until 7 days prior to the individual sessions beginning.

Absolutely. Participant and school evaluation of the program will be sought and appreciated.

The core criteria for all We Teach Well coaching and mentoring programs are taken from the Australian Charter for the Professional Learning of Teachers and School Leaders.

So, these are the questions we ask:

Has the professional learning program:

• Informed practice and pedagogy.
• Been relevant, collaborative and future focused. 
• Assisted the teachers and schools  to modify practice in response to student needs.
• Clarified for the teachers and administrations the importance of professional learning networks and communities of practice.
• Demonstrated that evidence of practice can and should be collected from a variety of sources.
• Built the confidence of the teachers as valued professionals.
