Get in touch:
I've been running this Managing Behaviour and Workload conference for Oxford Teaching Schools Alliance every year for well over a decade and it's always very popular with new teachers. There are some free places available for mentors, when they are accompanying ECTs.  The conference is open to the public as well as to Oxford schools and it is excellent value for money. The venue is great too - a proper air conditioned conference centre with  a lunch voucher included in the price of attendance. Book now to avoid disappointment.

Recent feedback for Sue Cowley's CPD:

"Sue Cowley's session was so inspiring and amazing. I loved her use of examples to really synthesise what she was saying (examples help me a lot!) and I loved her practical suggestions on how to actively support scaffolding in lessons. These tips and strategies will inform my practice in such a positive way."

"The best morning of CPD I have ever had!"
Adaptive Teaching CPD for the Three Rivers Alliance, January 2026

Getting your Class to Behave. Recently published in its sixth edition with a revised title (we lost the 'buggers'!). It was originally meant in a light-hearted way, but felt outdated and in need of a change. Read a review of the latest edition from EduPulse.
