2. Teachers
• They are a funny bunch 
• Doctors make the worst patients
• Teachers make the worst ……?

3. Who teaches who?
• Teachers teach students but who teaches
teachers?
• How do we engage teachers, entertain them?
• Usually the same approach we use with
students!

4. What to do?
• At the forefront of any good teacher’s
mind is…
• “How will this benefit my students"
• “How long will this take me?"
• “Can I get it done by the time EastEnders
comes on?"

5. Can’t - Won’t
• Teachers are often time poor and may not
have the skills to create resources
• It's about creating a safe learning
environment

6. How do we achieve this?
• Developing rapport
• Letting teachers know you're on their side
• You want to aid their students too

7. Help is at hand
• Innovate
• Lead the pack
• Collaborate
• Empower
