Class Tutor and Year Head Training – this half day seminar is the most requested. It has been constantly updated with many schools taking the programme up again to support in a concrete way its Tutor’s and Year Heads. The session covers:

Understanding the roles – specific issues for the school – effective ways to be Tutor and Year Head – ideas from other contexts that work – discipline issues – time concerns – building class/year spirit – motivation and academic role – award and recognition approaches – dealing with difficulties – effective planning…

Year Head Team – a two to three hour session working with this core group to review their work and how they work – to explore their realistic vision of what they want to achieve and the practical means to get there

Care Team – more and more schools are availing of this programme – it supports this group around its identity and purpose – to examine how best to use the capacities of its members – to set realistic goals and to outline an effective means to achieve them

Luke Monahan has been responsible for many publications in this area - the recent Year Head - Making a DIfference being the most requested – a handbook with over 225 pages of tips, tools, templates and shared guidance.
