Jenny’s Training
A major part of Jenny’s training consists of open conference training days. There are currently three titles to choose from and courses are arranged throughout the year, throughought the country, mostly at host schools who welcome other teachers in to train with them. These are the three courses titles:
- Promoting Better Behaviour for Learning and Respectful Relationships
- Powerfully Positive Lunchtimes and Playtimes and Calm Dining Halls
- Vibrant Circle Times for Early Years
In addition to this, INSET training includes a comprehensive suite of creative and innovative courses, designed for today’s learning environments, including courses for boosting your energy, raising self-esteem, relaxation, successful transitions, parents, peer mediation, lunchtimes and playtimes and many, many more. Jenny’s Working In School Days (WISD) are fairly unique as Jenny comes into your school or setting on a normal working day (no need to hire supply teachers or use up an INSET day) and works with different classes, eats in the dining hall and plays in the playground. Jenny Mosley develops a clear picture of the systems that are working in your school or setting and areas where focus is needed. She works with staff, holds meetings and feedback sessions. She can come in for an INSET day following this and spend time going through the systems that need working on. In this way, she can work with the whole school to bring your systems up to date and to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to achieve their full potential.
