1. Professional Development Consultants for your school/kindergarten

The TLN is pleased to recommend to member schools and kindergartens consultants to work with you on your professional development program. Consultants will:

• run an internal program for the whole staff
• work with an individual or small group of staff
• provide expert opinion on a complex issue 
• provide coaching and/or mentoring  

See the list below for areas of expertise for TLN Consultants

Referrals are only provided to member schools/kindergartens

The financial arrangements for each referral are a direct agreement between the school and the consultant. The school is responsible for meeting the fee of the consultant for any work for which he/she is engaged. The TLN does earn a brokerage fee from the consultants for any income derived as a result of a referral by TLN staff. The TLN does not charge the school for the service.  The TLN runs as a not-for-profit and any earnings arising from the brokerage fee are used to keep TLN membership prices and course fees to a minimum.

2. TLN Officers

The TLN also welcomes the opportunity to work directly with workplaces on a whole school professional development program. TLN staff members will prepare and deliver workshops for your staff in your workplace. See facilitator profiles for Michael Victory and Max Grarock.

in 2010 TLN staff time is charged at $800 per day ($1200 for non-members), $500 per half day ($800 for non-members) or $150 per hour of delivery ($250.00 for non members).

3. We do the 'leg work'
