Consultant Practitioners are teachers and school leaders who have taught TRJ for many years and, in some cases, in many schools. They hold a wealth of personal and professional knowledge about TRJ and the practicalities of successfully implementing the program in a school. Our consultants offer real-life experience as well as a resourceful network of other experts they can call on if necessary.
To reinvigorate your practice, if your school has been delivering TRJ for several years, this is an opportunity to share your practice with an expert and gain insight and feedback on what you are doing well and feed-forward on what you can be doing better

The 10 hours can be divided in a way that suits you and the school; e.g., if you are currently teaching in a school, it may be easier to commit to 5 x 2-hour sessions after hours. If you’re not teaching full-time in a school or have a flexible timetable, you may choose another time to get together. These visits can take place in person or via Zoom. We would expect this ongoing support to continue throughout the semester.
