about not just a teacher education
Brisbane based. Supporting schools, families and workplaces across Australia.
Not Just A Teacher Education is a neuroscience informed emotional intelligence consultancy that helps people build the skills that create calmer and more capable communities. We work with schools, early learning centres, families and organisations across Australia.
Our work blends psychology, emotional intelligence and practical tools so learning and behaviour feel more manageable. Everything is designed to be human, relatable and backed by evidence.
so what do we actually do?
-
Highly practical workshops that strengthen teacher confidence, behaviour management, emotional intelligence and relational communication. Popular sessions include Managing the Big Feelings, Blueprint to Taming Tricky Behaviour, Engaging Every Age, Becoming an Emotionally Intelligent School and more. All Professional Development aligns with AITSL Standards and current wellbeing frameworks.
-
A two session identity and character strengths program with a student showcase. Students discover their character strengths, understand who they are becoming and put their strengths into action. My Brand aligns with ACARA, HPE and General Capabilities. Schools use it to lift confidence, motivation and wellbeing culture.
-
Ongoing consultancy support for schools and early childhood services that want consistent guidance across wellbeing, behaviour and staff capability. We work alongside leadership teams to strengthen culture, build staff confidence, refine systems, support tricky behaviours and embed emotional intelligence into daily practice. Partnerships can include coaching, modelling, planning support and professional learning that is tailored to the needs of each community.
-
Coaching for children, teens and adults that improves emotional regulation, thought awareness and daily functioning. Clients learn how their brain works, how to interrupt negative loops and how to build habits that make life easier. Available online Australia-wide or in person across Brisbane, QLD.
-
Coaching that helps parents build calm structure, stronger communication and positive family habits. We blend neuroscience and emotional intelligence so parents feel equipped rather than overwhelmed.
Life becomes easier when people understand their emotions, strengths and patterns. Emotional intelligence builds confidence, resilience and connection. It also improves learning, behaviour and wellbeing.
Our mission is to make emotional intelligence practical and relatable so children, teens and adults feel more capable, more connected and more themselves.
why do we exist?
We meet every client where they are. Some need coaching for a child with strong emotions. Some need a school program that lifts identity and culture. Others need professional development that shifts staff mindset and classroom practice. Some need steady partnership support to strengthen wellbeing across a whole community.
Our approach is evidence-based, but always practical. We bring emotional intelligence into everyday situations so people learn skills they can immediately use at home, in the classroom or in the workplace.
We deliver our school and early learning services in person and online throughout Australia. Our social and emotional performance coaching is delivered online throughout Australia and in-person across Brisbane, QLD.
