This course is for anyone in the teaching profession that wants to improve their performance and learn new techniques and approaches that can help to transform the classroom experience for students.

A training aimed at enabling teachers from all subject areas and phases to integrate the power of NLP into their teaching repertoires to get even better student outcomes.
This will be a unique opportunity to meet, work and network with like-minded colleagues in a supportive, learning focused professional development environment.

The training will cover:
An introduction to NLP
The NLP communication model
Anchors, anchoring and state management: creating generative teaching states
Achieving personal goals
The NLP presuppositions
Questioning using the meta and Milton models to deepen student learning
Using the logical levels in the classroom and with colleagues
Beliefs and their impact on teaching and student performance
Perceptual positions for personal, colleague and student development
Knowledge integration

Topics that will be developed throughout the course are:

Rapport
Developing the ability to step into and respect another person's map of the world. Specific ways to build understanding and trust through posture, gestures, expressions, voice, language and breathing while teaching.

Outcome Orientation
The ability to focus on what you want, rather than what you don't. Learn to see these thinking habits in linguistic patterns and make interventions simply. How successful people motivate themselves to achieve their goals; how you can do this both for yourself and to teach these tools to others.

Behavioural Flexibility
The importance of flexibility in order to achieve greater influence and mastery of your own life.

NLP Presuppositions
The Key NLP Operating Principles, essentially your beliefs and ways of being and thinking that support and promote change and growth in yourself and others.

Logical Levels
Ways to think about our 'thinking'. To widen your choices in any situation, to gather information about others, to learn about your own way of being in different teaching situations. To create resourceful and powerful change systems for yourself and to coach with others.

Representational Systems
How we individually use our five senses and the effect of this on our language and behaviour. Including aspects of linguistic psychology like the mapping of time spatially.

The NLP Communication Model
How we filter the information we receive from the world around us through our own thinking patterns and the effect of our preferences. To show how this happens and how to notice it.

Eye Accessing Cues
What the eyes can tell us about someone's thinking and feeling in that moment. Application of this model to teaching.

Perceptual Positions
Thinking tools and exercises to strengthen your ability to enjoy your own experience, and to step into another's metaphorical shoes and make sense of relationships from different perspectives.

State Management
Tools and techniques to access specific states and in specific conditions consciously, so that you can be sure you are operating 'in' your optimum state.
