Your team became teachers to make a difference. The Considered Educator gives you the tools to help them do it sustainably.
The Considered Educator works with schools and English departments to improve student outcomes, without adding to your already heavy workload.
Teaching has never been harder. Workloads are high, expectations keep lifting and the best people in the profession are burning out and leaving. I know, because I've been there.
But the answer isn't working harder. It's working smarter, with evidence-based practice, expertly crafted curriculum and the insider knowledge of someone who has worked in every role from Classroom Teacher to Head of Teaching and Learning.
The Considered Educator was founded by Leigh Radbourne, a specialist with 13 years of experience across Victorian government and independent schools, and a current VCAA English assessor. Leigh knows what the research says and what works for students in Australian classrooms today. Importantly, she also understands what modern teachers want and need - tangible, powerful resources and support that can be implemented quickly, without disrupting workflows.
Every service Leigh offers is designed around one core belief: that great teaching and teacher wellbeing are not in conflict. The right systems, the right curriculum and the right professional learning can deliver both.
