Finding time for professional development isn't always easy. Between supporting children and young people, managing busy classrooms and juggling everyday responsibilities, making time for your own learning can be a challenge.
That's why, following feedback from educators, we're excited to introduce a new range of on-demand short courses, offering a more flexible way to access learning with Thrive.
Designed for busy education professionals, these practical, bite-sized online courses help you deepen your understanding of social and emotional development, build confidence and strengthen your everyday practice – all at a time and pace that works for you.
More ways to learn with Thrive
Our live, facilitated training remains at the heart of what we offer. But we also recognise that attending scheduled training isn't always possible.
Our new on-demand short courses complement our existing training offer, giving you another way to develop your knowledge and explore topics that matter to you.
With instant access and the flexibility to learn at your own pace, you can fit professional development around your schedule, without needing to attend a live session.
And you don’t have to be a Thrive School to attend. Our courses are open to everyone, whether you're new to Thrive or already familiar with our Approach.
Practical learning to strengthen your practice
Our growing collection of short courses explores topics relevant to educators across all phases and setting types.
Whether you're looking to deepen your understanding of social and emotional development, explore trauma-responsive practice or discover creative approaches to supporting regulation, there's an opportunity to build your expertise in areas that matter to the children and young people you support.
