Hello there teacher!
Hi, I’m Natalie Persaud. As a Principal and Education Consultant, I take a different approach than most. I specialise in teaching practices and mental well-being for frontline staff (and management). It’s not only about institutional reports on self-assessment, grade profiles, and other KPIs. Teachers who are happy and motivated tend to live more successful and fulfilling lives. And ultimately this means higher standards for everyone involved.
My favourite aspect of my job is witnessing a client’s journey. It usually begins with the belief they will never get their lives back. Or their fear of management’s judgments of their teaching practice.
Through this course, you will be able to grow with newfound confidence; regain a healthy work/life balance while also becoming a better teacher. I’ll be with you every step of the way, and help you become the successful educator you’ve always envisioned to be.
