In building this program the UPP team has specifically considered how to take the best parts from our Face to Face programs to make this online workshop practical, engaging, fun and useful for your staff and students during these difficult and unpredictable times. We have also taken into account the most current Covid-19 Government guidelines to ensure this workshop is safe for all involved. You can find UPP’s Covid Smart Statement HERE >>
“I must say that I was apprehensive about hosting the Leading from the Front workshop with the hosts virtually. The session exceeded my expectations- the students got a lot out of the workshop and are very inspired to action their ideas. Even though we thanked them as a group on the day, please pass on my heartfelt thanks to Cody and Dylan for making this session work on a screen, but they both did an exemplary job at it. ”
Expertly Designed Workshops
All UPP workshops are expertly designed by respected educator Luke McKenna and delivered by our team of highly trained specialists. Since 2015, these practical, engaging, and age-appropriate programs have positively impacted over 400,000 Australian students and are trusted by teachers and principals nationwide.
Engaging Learning Approach
We use a proven learning, action, reflection approach in every workshop, engaging students through videos, stories, interactive activities, reflection, teamwork, and partner sharing. For more details, check out our guarantee.
Follow-Up Resources for Teachers
Follow-up resources are provided for teachers after each workshop to reinforce key messages throughout the school year. These resources provide clear language and practical strategies to help continue your students’ learning in an engaging, consistent way.
Details and Pricing
The investment for this engaging and transformative incursion, including follow-up materials, is $15 + GST per student (minimum investment of $1,125+GST/day). The workshop is run live and online by UPP with a whole cohort of students broken into smaller class groups. We recommend the use of the Google Meet platform for this specific workshop, however we will do our best to accomodate preferred platforms your school may have (eg Microsoft Teams / Zoom).
As we use a learning, action, reflection process throughout the sessions, the best venue for this workshop is to have class groups in their own classroom with the furniture pushed to the sides of the room. For the greatest impact, we recommend that classroom teachers are present and involved for the 3 sessions, as this assists in making the program more engaging but also has many benefits to the students and school moving forward.
