Groups vary depending on the school’s needs.

  • School Teams: principals, instruction coaches, teachers and
    teaching assistants,
  • Teaching Teams: teachers and teaching assistants,
  • Leadership Teams: principals, instruction coaches and other
    leadership roles.

Participants attend in different ways depending on the school's needs.

Facilitation by GGSA Expert

GGSA experts are former teachers, instruction coaches and principals. They offer regular professional learning sessions:

  • Individuals: individuals from different schools completing
    the same module.
  • One school team: ten or more participants from the one
    school completing the same module.

Bookings are made at least 2 weeks in advance.

Facilitation by School Leader

School leader facilitates delivery and sets up the learning online. Course materials are structured so that facilitators do not require subject-matter expertise to deliver confidently.

The facilitator delivers the module, and participants complete their test and survey and are issued a certificate.
