Headteacher benefits
Imagine the impact on your school / college if all of your pupils were taught and encouraged to DREAM BIG.
Headteachers and school governors. We recognise what a difficult and yet essential job you all do in these very trying circumstances.
ā
Living with Ofsted breathing down your neck, your exam results scrutinised more than ever, behaviour often being more challenging and teacher retention becoming more difficult, you need to catch a break. And whilst we do not claim to be the one-stop solution for all of your challenges we believe that we can help you immensely; with immediate effect too.
Our courses and resources help pupils discover and secure their DREAM future. As a result students possess clear ambitions and renewed determination to achieve outstanding exam results. It often leads to a positive improvement in student behaviour and staff wellbeing too.
ā
They are an extremely cost-effective intervention in a time when finances are at a premium. In fact you can get started and access the basic outline of our DREAM to DESTINATION course as well as other resources for free. Allow us to explain further by providing a brief summary of some of the benefits to you below.
Your benefits
Academic improvement
ā
Students with a clear and compelling vision for their future work harder and smarter than those that do not have one. We all know this to be true from our experience in working with young people. We just often do not have the time to figure out how to best harness it. Our resources do all of the hard work for you. Not only do they help students figure out what their DREAM future looks like but they also tool them up to get there by teaching them essential study skills along the way. The academic improvement is tangible and will be immediately demonstrated in your improved exam results.
Behaviour improvement
Students with a clear and compelling vision for their future behave differently to those that do not have any life ambitions. Even those students whose behaviour might not be deemed as ‘poor’ but are pulling your value added progress rating down as they are coasting along are just as impacted. In fact they are much more likely to transform into students who really want to achieve. Not only that but students become generally happier and calmer, creating a more purposeful environment in your schools. They subsequently become even more rewarding to work with and easier to teach.
Teacher retention lift
ā
We all know that teachers are leaving the profession in their droves and the reality is that many of them are leaving your schools too early. As odd as it perhaps sounds our resources actually help with teacher retention.
ā
Many teachers fail to link what they are doing day-to-day with the reason why they got into teaching in the first place. And so they leave. The reason they probably got into teaching was to change lives and inspire the next generation to be all they can be. Yet they spend a good percentage of their time marking, planning and collecting data and eventually it takes its toll.
ā
Now working through our resources with their students allows teachers to fall back in love with their profession by positioning them to really make a difference to their students’ futures in a very obvious and engaging way. They will love delivering them and it will be as refreshing for them as it will be for the students. It may not the primary reason for opting to pursue our resources but it’s an unbelievable side-benefit that cannot be underestimated.
