Educator Workshops
We connect teachers with practical resources and lessons
All of our Evolve Educator workshops celebrate the amazing opportunities
the online world provides while highlighting the strategies needed to
minimise the risk associated with it.
Our educator workshops are available as a webinar or face-to-face workshops, though we recommend face-to-face where possible for greater collaboration and engagement after a long school day.
The sessions are highly interactive and engaging, allowing teachers to work together in their teams to address issues specific to their level, while also gaining a general overview of the common issues across different year levels.
