Welcome to Spire Educational Consulting
My time as a teacher, Principal and Juvenile Justice worker has highlighted the need to have consistent and calm practice in classrooms and schools. Calm, consistent practice provides the opportunity for happier students, greater engagement and more time for teachers to do what they got into teaching for and builds trusting, respectful relationships. Clear understandings of current educational practice and research is important.
My program aims to allow schools to provide staff with a range of strategies that empower them to build purposeful and authentic relationships that reduce the impact of problematic classroom behaviour without imposing onerous administration, staffing or time demands. These strategies are evidence informed, based on cognitive science and proven in the classroom and in a Juvenile Justice setting.
Contact me today to see how I can develop a package to benefit your school that will allow teachers to teach and leaders to lead.

We are like dwarfs sitting on the shoulders of giants. We see more, and things that are more distant, than they did, not because our sight is superior or because we are taller than they, but because they raise us up, and by their great stature add to ours.
