TOGETHER WE DESIGN STRONG FOUNDATIONS FOR CHANGE ENABLED BY coherence and sense-making
“The world simply no longer cares how much you know, because Google knows everything. Content knowledge has become a free commodity— like air or water— growing exponentially, changing constantly, and available on every Internet-connected device. The harder part is helping students develop the skill and the will to ask new questions, solve new problems, and create new knowledge”
With over 20 years of experience in Education, Tabitha has helped Teachers and Leaders manage the constant need to innovate, shift and change to remain at the leading edge of education and learning.
In the last 12 months, Tabitha has helped over 500 Teachers and leaders, working at the intersection of Leadership and Learning to determine, define and design their unique learning systems and build synergy between all the parts of a learning system to enable change, growth and sustainability.

Tabitha ensures that the PD is tailored and personalised to you and your STEM journey. Plus time to work on designing resources and programmes etc. while being supported. ”
