We’re so excited to announce the newest addition to our team, Queensland School Development Coach, Rachel Blatch!
Rachel has implemented and developed Project-Based Learning in both UK and Australian schools. She has extensive experience in adapting both Primary and Secondary curriculum for delivery in a student-centred way. Adept at leading Professional Development, Rachel has also mentored and coached teams in providing personalised learning pathways and improved learner engagement and outcomes through PBL.
Rachel worked closely with New Tech Network for over 4 years, developing Project Based Learning at Kings Christian College, Queensland. She is now the Queensland Schools Development Coach for NTN Australia. She is passionate about equipping teachers and schools to deliver authentic learning experiences and foster the development of skills to facilitate deeper learning in diverse classroom environments.
Rachel has wasted no time in getting started, she’s offering a PBL 101 for all Queensland-based Primary and Secondary School teachers in November 2021. She’s also available for whole school professional development if these dates, or this particular course do not suit your school's needs, please contact us to arrange a consultation and personalised PD for your school via info@ntnau.org.
Some examples of additional PD workshops include:
