Session details
Your group training and review sessions will be with up to five other schools.
- Module One introduces the whole-school approach using the Nurture Principles and the Boxall Profile®
- Module Two covers the rationale for the approach including an overview of attachment theory and neuroscience
- Module Three looks at the award standards and areas of development for your school
- The 4-month and 8-month catch-ups are group sessions to review progress and your self-assessment
- The 12-month catch-up is a one-hour individual session tailored to the needs of your school.
Delegates from your school will need to attend all sessions. If you can’t make any of these sessions, you can send another member of your team. If no one can make a session, you can arrange a catch-up session with your consultant, but we’ll make an additional charge.
We’ll use Zoom for these sessions, unless we’ve agreed otherwise with your group. You’ll need to be in a quiet space, with one screen for each delegate. If your workplace security system stops you using Zoom, we recommend joining the sessions from home or another quiet location.
