Helping educators and parents cut through the noise and reconnect with what matters.
If we want young people to love learning, we have to make learning loveable.
Life is moving faster than ever and school is no exception. Pressure is constant. And the delight of learning is being squeezed out.
Young people feel it. Teachers feel it. Parents feel it.
What If Education?® creates space again – restoring curiosity though awe and wonder, and supporting leaders, teachers and parents in making small, but mighty changes where they matter most.
Enjoyment and curiosity in learning are not distractions or nice-to-haves.
They are what it is all about.
What If Education?® brings us back to the power of what if? because in our rush for answers, we’re forgetting the questions that make learning come alive.
Consultancy
We cannot wait for systemic change. But, we can design our own. When we bring in awe, wonder and what if, we reclaim agency and bring learning to life.
Our education consultancy works alongside schools and teachers to create bespoke practical solutions that feel like freedom – not constraint – and still sit securely within existing expectations and the curriculum.
“We don’t have to trade joy for success.”
-Dr Jeremy Hannay
Coaching
When young people feel good, they learn better. When teachers feel good, they teach better.
Educator coaching creates the mindset, space and clarity you need to show up as your best: well-rested, well-resourced and well-supported.
If you are a leader, teacher or parent – trying to hold meaning, ambition and humanity together – you are in the right place.
“Maybe some people feel burnt out because they’re doing too much. Maybe they feel burnt out because they are doing too little of the things that make them feel alive.”
-Jim Kwik
