Β 

Now is the time to prepare for 2026.

Training in the first term often presents challenges:

  • Don't want a day out for training when setting up class at the start of the year.
  • Students with neurodiversity may start off dysregulated because the necessary structures and strategies are not yet in place.
  • Educators find themselves playing catch-up while addressing 'behaviours'.
  • Many educators feel overwhelmed.
