Trevor Bond (B.Ed, M.Ed Admin), Education Consultant and Professional Development provider works extensively with schools on a range of aspects that include:

 * Student Questioning Skills
 * Teacher Questioning Skills
 * Inquiry learning
 * Information Literacy
 * Thinking skills
 * School vision
 * Effective Schools
 * Vision driven schooling structures
 * Belief Diven Practice
 * Quality Learning

With most schools I come alongside the school and the leadership team as a critical friend, and work with the school over a period of two or more years to help ensure that the changes are made and are thoroughly embedded into ongoing practice and processes. The number of visits per year will vary from school to school and are always open to negotiation and discussion. I would look at an initial meeting to talk through the issues and goals of the school and to draw up an action plan based on needs, goals and budget. This action plan would then remain open to ongoing review rather than be seen as a fixed contract. The support is likely to include some combination of whole staff teacher only days, staff meetings, syndicate sessions, BOT session, ongoing meetings with the leadership team, in-class support, of-site support through email/skype etc.
