Event description
Unlimited TIPS for Educators enrolment for Your School or Centre – $500 + GST
Add an extra $100 + GST to also include TIPS for Leaders to help make leadership development a focus across your whole leadership team
TiPS for Educators is a monthly online series facilitated by SMTC’s AMI trainers and trainers-in-training to inspire and support educators.
For schools and centres looking to send multiple staff members to TIPS sessions throughout the year, we’re pleased to offer an All-Staff Enrolment for just $500 + GST for your orgaisation. This covers unlimited access to all TIPS sessions for any staff from your school or centre for 2025 (or a year from when you register). To set this up, simply register here and pay. Alternatively, email us at admin@smtc.com.au and we can arrange an invoice. We look forward to inspiring your team each month.
Monthly sessions are on a Monday evening at 7pm Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne time and run for 90 minutes: 1-hour online of content, with an additional 30-minute Q&A, for extra support on how you can turn Montessori theory into practice. Sessions are ordinarily $20 per person plus GST (individuals can also register for the entire year for $150 plus GST).
Please note that to obtain the zoom link for a session, staff need to register with a free code specific to your school (or a team member can do this on your behalf). We may also ask you to confirm from time to time that the persons registering with your school/centre code are staff members of the school.
* We have tried to make TIPS as affordable as possible for our community and therefore run it at a very low cost to schools/centres. Staff must be employees of the organisation working in the school or centre. If you are interested in sending board members, parents, health professionals or others connected with your community along, they are very welcome to come along to TIPS but they are not part of the School All Staff package. However, individual registrations are only $25 and we offer TIPS for the year to individuals for $150 plus GST. Please reach out to us at admin@smtc.com.au if you would like to discuss a package option for others outside of your staff. We are currently also developing a separate parent support program to support you in supporting your parents and will release this in term 1.
