How do we talk, how do children learn?
We spend most of our time talking to each other. Some say that we spend up to 80% of our time in conversation. Altering the nature of conversations is the single most powerful way to bring about change, improved performance, greater productivity, manage challenging behaviour and deliver breakthroughs in the relationships we have with those we teach, our colleagues and managers.
The programme
The BTST© programme is aimed at parents, teachers, teaching assistants, managers and special needs leaders in schools and Pupil Referral Units.
BTST© offers you an innovative training programme as well as individual coaching, which:
- Will deepen your understanding of the emotional dynamics that operate within us and the limitations that restrict us from getting the best out of the children in our care.
- Will reconnect teachers with their understanding of themselves, possibly buried at present under endless organisational difficulties such as poor discipline in the classroom and other related issues.
- Will provide you with the tools to create breakthroughs in communication, performance, confidence, relationships and productivity; a new way of understanding how Teachers and Teaching Assistant’s can operate effectively and with integrity.
- Will establish a reflective cultural approach in the team to being creative and welcoming change, with a common language and the ability to communicate with one another to achieve lasting results.
- Will manage disruptive and assaultive behaviour, preventing escalation, with confidence in your conversations with the children and young people, focusing and enhancing the techniques you use to engage, empower and inspire them.
Programme Structure
The structure of the programme is built on the belief that being a leader and a successful teacher demands great awareness of oneself, motivation to move forward and above all commitment and integrity, fostering compassion and inspirational leadership. The programme performs within the psychodynamics of the group and focuses on “person centred solutions” using coaching skills to respond and find solutions that work.
How the programme works
Each programme will cater for the institution’s individual needs.
- One day training plus 5 workshops consisting of an hour and half each workshop.
- Working in groups and pairs
- Practical home work that doesn’t require pencil and paper.

The Big Talk Small Talk Approach
The BTST© method is a very distinctive approach that causes a profound shift in thinking and encourages participants to understand and challenge the deeper issues that keep us from living a life that is joyful, rewarding and meaningful. It offers practical tools that we can use in our daily life and of those with whom we work and most importantly the children we teach.
The BTST© approach is one grounded in what it means to be human and acknowledges the importance of the conversations we have every day. Talking is the one distinctive element of being human.
