Making a positive difference to learning every day
Whether we publish a book, develop a digital tool or carry out skills training our mission is always to make a positive difference to the end-user’s professional everyday life. We have positioned ourselves in the market by emphasizing a focus where research is adapted into actual tools to be used in practice, combing theory with the daily life in schools.
Our editorial areas include schools, pre-schools and university colleges where we publish knowledge-based pedagogical and psychological literature and develop digital tools. We also provide skills training through a team of qualified consultants. Our consultancy services and skills training primarily focus on professional learning communities and co-teaching within schools and pre-schools.
