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.

Testimonials
Sally Pendergrast Talks about her experience at the Teacher Think Tank and working with Tabitha
Literally the most amazing PD I have ever done it has changed my approaches to teaching and the way I run my class. The results and feedback from the students have been incredible. 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.
Another incredible day with Tabitha Leonard. Whole staff workshop followed by 10 teachers taking their inquiry journey with Tabitha. An engaged and on board staff thanks to her incredible work. Looking forward to our next PLD session in a few weeks time.
Beautiful balance between provoking thinking and providing resources for application
Tabitha was very knowledgeable, engaged the group, gave opportunities to think, discuss and share, provided matrices, digital resource, graphic organisers, facilitated and guided the group and individual to reflect, problem solve. Affirmed and differentiated the understanding and learnings for each person and group. The tone and care of her delivery was calm and affable. She listened and was attentive to questions and the reality for different people
Tabitha was incredibly knowledgeable and focused, giving teaching inquiry a concrete purpose. Tabitha has helped me refine my own inquiry and implement it in a way that is manageable and meaningful for me.
