Building emotionally intelligent school communities that thrive

At Not Just A Teacher Education, we offer three high-impact pathways that support schools and organisations who are actively searching for practical, emotionally intelligent strategies to embed meaningfully into their everyday practices. Our approach helps students self-regulate, build empathy and learn through self-awareness. For teachers and leaders, we offer tools to respond under pressure, reduce friction and lead with clarity.

Whether you're building a whole-school wellbeing plan or want to strengthen everyday classroom relationships, we’re here to help create a culture where everyone feels seen, supported and capable.

practical professional development

We offer dynamic, practical workshops that shift mindsets and build capacity across all levels of a school or organisation. Whether you're rethinking behaviour systems, building staff capacity, or strengthening parent partnerships, our sessions are designed to go beyond surface-level theory.

popular sessions

  • For educators or parents navigating behaviour through an emotional intelligence lens.

  • Identifying common student behaviours during each development stage with practical strategies for educators to respond proactively, rather than reactively.

  • Tailored sessions that support educators and leaders to develop emotionally intelligent practices that work within their context.

  • Unpacking the neuroscience behind why students disengage and what to do about it through an emotionally intelligent lens.

my brand student identity program

Designed for upper primary and secondary students, this standout program helps young people build a strong, emotionally intelligent sense of self. Students explore their character strengths, values and emotional regulation tools to develop their own personal brand. The program is delivered across two sessions, culminating in students developing and actioning their own iMPACT event that showcases how they are living their unique brand.

‘My Brand’ is not a token program. it becomes a cultural touchpoint in your school. It empowers students to take ownership of their choices, their relationships and their future. Schools where students have developed clarity around their identity often report an increase in engagement, confidence and classroom cohesion.

For schools navigating complex needs or change, we offer tailored strategy sessions with school leaders and wellbeing teams. These are not one-size-fits-all consultations. They are designed around your existing documents and processes to add value.
