This remarkable achievement underscores the school's commitment to innovation in teaching and learning, ensuring that staff and students alike benefit from cutting-edge technology and best practices in digital education.
The Apple Coaching course, which spans seven months and encompasses over 40 hours of intensive training, is designed to empower educators with advanced skills in leveraging iPad technology to enhance teaching and learning. Balancing this rigorous program alongside their daily leadership and teaching responsibilities is a testament to the dedication, resilience, and expertise of these three fantastic teachers.
The completion of this qualification marks a significant milestone for St Ives School. As certified Apple Coaches, Robyn Weldon, Lizi McKenzie, and Emily Lofthouse will now play a key role in developing staff expertise, embedding digital strategies into everyday classroom practice, and coaching colleagues to maximize the potential of iPad technology. Their leadership in this field will not only drive excellence within St Ives School but also inspire and support other educators to elevate their digital teaching capabilities.
This achievement builds upon the foundation laid last year when these staff members earned their Apple Teacher badges. Their journey has been one of continuous professional development, collaboration, and an unwavering commitment to educational excellence. Throughout the course, they have engaged with a global network of Apple Coaches, exchanging innovative ideas and strategies that will directly benefit the school and trust community.
