It provides all the tools and support needed to help revolutionise learning outcomes and focuses on the four main elements necessary for effective professional development: theory, modelling, practice and coaching.
Why choose Iris Connect?
Teachers can:
- receive or provide effective coaching and mentoring; get around distance and timetable constraints with flexible access to the platform and the possibility for live remote coaching
