CPD that works!

123GO-bear-paw

Your school is under constant pressure to adapt and evolve, and yet embracing change is really hard. You plan your new initiatives meticulously, you organise training sessions delivered by great presenters, the immediate feedback is positive and enthusiastic – and then somehow it just doesn’t stick.

We know what it’s like: over the past ten years we have delivered hundreds of great staff training sessions, with terrific feedback scores, and found that a month later – for all sorts of valid reasons – people just haven’t been able to embed the new ideas into their working practice.

We set out to fix that problem, and 123GO! is the result.

We’ve developed 123GO! to help you make CPD count. Using a simple ‘Look, Learn, Try, Earn’ structure, you can take any content, break it into bite-sized chunks, add a checklist and a challenge, and reward progress and mastery with badges. And do it all in five minutes flat.

To learn more and see it in action, visit us at www.123go.training or on Stand 10 in the Bett Futures area.
