The Element

Finding your passion changes everything. With a sense of direction in our lives, a drive that comes from within, we begin to accomplish things nobody thought us capable of.

What do your students want for themselves? Who do they aspire to be? How does their education prepare them and empower them to achieve their ambitions?

Are your interventions focused on exam revision? What might the benefits be of taking a longer view now as an organisation?

The Element provides a framework for helping learners find motivation from within and to realise the value of the opportunities their schooling offers them, freeing teachers to truly deliver an inspirational curriculum.

Workshop impacts:
