Personal Development For Schools
2°beyond provides personal development programmes for schools, designed to complement and extend your students’ education and independent learning. Our fun developmental programmes build your pupils’ confidence, improve their leadership and communication skills, and give them the chance to acquire expertise they may not otherwise learn. No matter the age or ability of your pupils, investing in their personal development increases their motivation and potential in school, whilst making them more efficient and effective future leaders.
2°beyond’s programmes are held onsite at your school, and are tailored to your requirements and objectives, and the needs of your students. We listen to your school’s individual requirements and desired outcomes then implement training that is beneficial to everyone involved. Our trainers work closely with your students to identify their strengths and help the students develop independent learning in order for them to determine exactly what they require to develop to their full potential.
Through a range of strategic planning exercises, interactive sessions and educational development projects, 2°beyond help your school’s students to learn how to overcome obstacles, adapt to new situations and embrace new opportunities. Rather than being team-building exercises designed for a short-term benefit, our educational development programmes provide behaviourally-based experiential learning that progresses personal development for the long-term.
During our educational development programmes, 2°beyond will develop your students’:
- Management, leadership and communication skills
- Independent learning
- Confidence and self-esteem
- Self-sufficiency and self-awareness
- Ability to work in a team
- Sense of personal responsibility
- Decision making abilities
- Motivation and productivity
- Ability to undertake physical and mental challenges
- Ability to embrace change and adapt to new situations
- Perception of their role in social, educational and professional contexts
- Employability.
Our educational development programmes range from a single half-day session to a strategic-developmental journey for Year 7 to Year 12 students. All our sessions are available as standalone interventions or as part of bespoke two-four day programmes. Whilst our programmes are complementary to the National Curriculum, including citizenship and economic wellbeing, this is only the starting point – 2°beyond addresses cross-curricular areas and non-statutory subjects.
Personal development is versatile. It can be used as follows:
- At the start of a school year to help new students get to know one another in an informal setting
- In the middle of a school year to give individuals and groups a break from the classroom and provide the opportunity to experiment with new skills and behaviour, or to address specific dynamics within a year group
- Towards the end of a school year, as a creative way of pulling the learning together in preparation for the next steps in education or career.
2°beyond has a great track-record of working with schools, tailoring our programmes to suit a range of abilities and ages. The programmes we provide develop change-enabled, high performance students, teams, and whole year groups; our partner schools are extremely happy with our success.
