About Brian Parker

I have been involved in education for close to 30 years as a teacher, teacher trainer and education consultant in New Zealand, Hong Kong, mainland China, South Africa and Australia. From 2010 I have been training teachers, producing online training courses and supporting teachers in classrooms. I have a special interest in supporting teachers with their reading programmes and managing the behaviour of their students. I use simple, easy to follow tools that can be given to teachers so they can use them quickly and effectively without a lot of explanation. The use of online technology has been a great way to connect and maintain online support but nothing beats face to face work in schools with teachers and principals.To support teachers by;- training 'the person' and 'the teacher'.- using clear unambiguous routines or rules to follow.- inspiring the "student" in all of us.“When you do what you love, the seemingly impossible becomes simply challenging…" Steve Maraboli
