Schools have the curriculum. We work on the teaching

We train teachers, advise schools on how a curriculum actually gets taught, and develop the materials that make a lesson easier to run.

What we do

Three ways we work with a school

Curricula are written centrally. What decides whether they land is the teaching, and that is where we work.

Teacher development session

01 — Teacher education

Professional development

Training that survives contact with a real timetable.

  • Whole-staff days and smaller subject sessions
  • Support for teachers covering a subject they did not train in
  • Classroom practice rather than theory
  • Follow-up across a term, not a single visit
Advisory session with a school

02 — Advisory

How the curriculum gets taught

Not what is in it. How it reaches a class of thirty.

  • Reviewing how a subject is taught across year groups
  • Sequencing and assessment that teachers can actually run
  • Choosing materials, and what they cost in preparation time
  • Working with school authorities beyond a single site
Teaching materials in development

03 — Materials

Products we develop

When the right resource does not exist, we build it.

  • Developed with teachers and subject specialists
  • Written to be used in a lesson, not read in a staff room
  • Published in the language and market they are for
  • Bewegungs 1x1 is the first of these

How we work

Three steps, nothing off the shelf

Every school is at a different point. The first conversation exists to find out where yours is.

Conversation

Half an hour with the head or the subject lead. What is working, what is missing, what the timetable allows.

Proposal

A written plan with dates, content and a price. You decide after reading it, not before.

Delivery

We come to the school. Between sessions we stay reachable by email.

Our work

Bewegungs 1x1

Our first published series, developed with German partners for schools in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Eight booklets of exercises for physical education, developed with German PE teachers and consultants for the German-speaking market. Each one covers a single area and sets out the exercises with a drawing, the setup and notes on running them. Over 5,000 schools teach from them.

  • Ball
  • Gymnastics
  • Athletics
  • Warm-ups
  • Dance
  • Classroom
  • Swimming
  • Outdoors

Developed and published by Philtes Consulting LP, which also runs the shop and answers enquiries about the series.

A short note with the name of your school and the question in front of you is enough. We reply the same or the next working day.
