Doug Lemov’s professional learning goes far beyond theory.

Educators don’t just hear about effective teaching. They analyse real classroom practice, explore the research behind it, practise high-impact instructional techniques and leave with practical strategies they can apply immediately in their classroom.

Here’s what past participants have said:

“I have been an educator for 26 years, 16 of those as a principal... TLAC trainings have been the most useful ones I have attended.”
— G Smith, Principal

“My students have grown in ways I never expected.”
— J Johnson, Educator

This November, Australian educators have the opportunity to learn directly from Doug Lemov during his Australian workshop tour.
