The Whole School Package
There are many advantages to a whole school approach.
We all know that consistency is key!
When staff learn together, they share their enthusiasm. They collaborate, problem solve and support each other.
Students benefit from using shared language and the cumulative power of building on previous knowledge and understanding.
The Whole School Package
$187 per person
Includes four things for each person:
1. Access to the online SMART Spelling course for a month
2. The 263 page SMART Spelling manual
and at no additional cost
3. Printed 48 page notes booklets - saving you time and money
4. Access to the Follow Up Course for 12 months Info (value $49 per person)
On a student free day you display the course on a large screen and complete it together as a staff. As the day is broken up into 14 shorter videos, there is a natural pause after each one for discussion or paired reflection. Some schools prefer to break into smaller years level groups in separate classrooms to encourage discussion.
To ask Michelle a question, simply type it in one of the Q & A sections that are located under each video and she will reply as quickly as she can. You can also read other people's questions and Michelle's answers to them too.
Each participant gets their own unique login. Their access stays open for a month so they can revisit parts (if they wish) and also get their certificate from the login area. The Follow Up Course supports teachers for 12 months after the SMART Spelling course. This has another 10 videos, 10 quizzes and also the ability to ask Michelle questions, once they have started to implement it into their classrooms. Many schools use some of the videos from the Follow Up Course for after school meetings.
The $187 whole school package is only available if you are training your whole school in one order. We define this as at least all of your classroom teachers. Whether that's 3 or 303 depends on your school, there are not minimum numbers! If you are just training some of your staff then the normal prices apply: The Course and Manual Package is $187 and the Follow Up Course is $49 per person.
Please place your whole school order in time to allow the manuals and notes booklets to be posted to you (we'll pay for the postage). After you have ordered just email us a list of names, emails and the date you would like the access to start. We will email each person instructions and their unique login details on the date you ask us to, which is usually the day before you are going to use it to make sure everyone has their login details.
If you're interested in Michelle coming in person to your school please email Freddy for the 2021 pricing structure.
Mary Swoffer, Head of Junior School, Cobram Anglican Grammar
We cannot praise the online SMART spelling course enough! The videos were clear, informative and the most fantastic part was re-watching certain clips to really master the information that was presented. It has been a terrific platform which we would highly recommend to other schools.
Lucy Keath, Principal, St Joseph's Cobram
At St. Joseph's we have a whole school approach to spelling. All our teachers and learning support have been trained with Michelle to make a whole school impact on our spelling, reading and writing results. All our children have an understanding of the process each week that goes on in spelling sessions. The how to teach the words has made a huge impact on our learners. We have noticed a massive difference to our learners with their spelling using SMART spelling.
Debbie Humphries, Principal, Kialla Central Primary School
Kialla Central Primary School is moving into our third year of implementing the SMART Spelling Approach. Our staff have found a new passion for teaching spelling. It is practical way to teach spelling and it just makes sense! Our students talk the talk, walk the walk & are transferring it to their writing, reading and across other curriculum areas. We are massive fans of Michelle, her work and generosity in sharing her resources! Thanks Michelle!
Below are some schools that do a whole school approach.
There are other schools who trained groups at different times but these are the ones that we know about who trained everyone together.
