About us

Welcome to this new series of innovative events and courses brought to you by Independent Thinking and Teachology.

Independent Thinking brings together educational pioneers, innovators and, frankly, maverick types all currently making a positive impact in schools across the UK. For nearly twenty years Independent Thinking has been at the forefront of educational innovation, supporting teachers, young people, school leaders and other educationalists to be even better at what they do when it comes to helping schools - and the young people in them - succeed.

Our focus has always been around innovations in thinking, learning, motivation, behaviour, creativity, emotional intelligence, learning technologies, leadership and the application of neuroscience in the classroom, brought to you by world-class practitioners with a certain flair for putting across ideas in ways that are as inspiring as they are practical.

With so much pressure to teach to the test and dance to the inspector’s tune, we are committed to helping teachers know that they can achieve great results AND teach in a way that really does bring the best out of all young people.

Or, in the words of Independent Thinking’s founder Ian Gilbert, we can help you to ‘cover your backs and sleep at night’. To find out more please check out www.independentthinking.co.uk.

Teachology is a new voice in the world of educational conferences and courses but one that is already making itself heard with a string of successful national conferences under its belt. Teachology’s success is in finding the right speaker at just the right time to help schools address the big issues of the day. Learn more here www.teachology-education.co.uk.

This new collaboration brings together the strengths of both companies with the single aim of supporting schools through the great educational challenges of the 21st century. Join us and benefit from the courses outlined on this site, presented and created by world-leading practitioners and innovators. What’s more, they are just the start. We have a lot more in store.

Our intensive day courses are the first in a long line of new collaborative adventures dedicated to shaping your school’s success. From intervention programmes, conferences, book launches to debates, we are dedicated to supporting you and school through any media you desire. And remember, if you rather we come to you than you come to us, simply contact Independent Thinking on learn@independentthinking.co.uk or +44 (0)844 589 0490 to enquire about INSET days, student events, parent workshops, keynote addresses and the other ways in which we have been working with schools around the world for nearly twenty years.

We look forward to hearing from you, to meeting on you on these courses around the country, and to supporting you in whichever way we can.

Best wishes

Independent Thinking and Teachology
