Therefore, in 2019, we participated in a TEDx event organised by a local community during the TEDxLimasol where we shared the Nordic Schools’ teaching approach on stage.
Topics
A wide selection of CPD topics is offered by Nordic Schools. We consider these to be relevant in the different phases of the teaching and school management process all throughout the academic year. Most importantly, each topic can be presented in an analogue or digital format.

“The Nordic Schools delivered the online TTSA conference during the COVID pandemic. Their support throughout this period was tremendous, changing their face to face delivery to an extremely professional online conference. Feedback from the online conference’s participants was excellent.”
Ms. Lisa Toms, Director Torbay Teaching School Alliance
Analog & Digital Formats
At Nordic Schools, we support educational institutions around the globe through analog and digital courses and presentations.
These days, there are generally two ways of doing things: analog or digital. Therefore, we are constantly aware of how the live and online aspects work together in the best possible way in our work. This means, we can develop and adapt our lectures and courses to our customers’ needs.
However, it depends not only on us – but also on the needs of you and your school. Do you, for example, need an inspiring presentation for an afternoon or a long-term blended learning course?
We can help you either way.

“The gentlemen from Nordic Schools have challenged and changed
my views upon relationship building, testing and school management.“

The Nordic Teaching Model
At Nordic Schools, we have developed a model: The Nordic Teaching Model.
Above all, the model is helping school leaders and school teachers map their competencies. In short, the intention of the model is to utilise existing resources and to find new potential for further development.
A 360° tool to evaluate and develop teaching competencies
Partners
We want the Nordic school system to inspire the Continuing Professional Learning in British and international schools. Therefore, we have teamed up with educational consultant, Dr. Jim Rogers. Jim has worked as a teacher, researcher and school leader for many years.
More recently Dr Rogers has been involved in coordinating and delivering school improvement and professional development through the Teaching School Council, as Director of the Plymouth Teaching School Alliance, and then Director of Professional Development for one of England’s national multi-academy trusts.
