Russell recommends


 
Maths Educaiton with Digital Tech

Published by Continuum Books "Mathematics Education with Digital Technology" edited by Adrian Oldknow & Carol Knights, Russell has written Chapter 12 "Home & School - Bridging the Gap"  The title draws on the expertise of a wide range of contributors from across the globe.  It is thought provoking and challenging and covers a diverse range of ICT.  It is hoped that this publication can move the agenda forward and bring ICT to all our students.  ISBN 978-1-4411-8472-6 published by www.Continuumbooks.com 2011  Other contributors include Don Passey, Andy Kemp, Vanessa Pittard and David Wright, the book is highly recommended but it isn't for the faint hearted.

 

Conference Speeches & Workshops


Opening or Closing Keynote
 

Why not open or close your prestigious conference with an amazing keynote from Russell, the TES once said that anyone that hadn't seen Russell speak was "deprived".  He is regularly asked back and supports a number of educational events annually, he is a regular feature at the South West Grid for Learning conferences and enjoys one of the highest profiles in the UK.  Russell has a naturally engaging and inspiring style and his presentations are always entertaining and fun.  You may also be considering having Russell participate in a panel discussion or perhaps host an extended Q & A session.

Workshops & Seminars

Russell can support your event in a number of different ways, you might already have made arrangements for your keynote provision and would perhaps consider having Russell provide and run some workshops for you.  Russell is happy to tailor his content to fit your exact needs.  It might be a games based learning exercise, or creative film-making, broadcasting top tips or producing podcasts for learners.  We are able to provide a wide range of learning activities that would compliment your event.  Russell can also provide a short technology workshop, this is an extremely focussed non-stop session for colleagues to see how much technology has recently moved on and is particularly useful as a catch-up.

"Russell was outstanding, loads of great ideas to take back to school, best speaker so far."
SSAT event delegate - March 2010


Presentation Skills for Strategic Leaders

Presenting with IMPACT!

Russell Prue is one of the UK's leading conference speakers in the field of ICT and Transformational Learning.  The TES has described Russell as the best known speaker in his field; he is well reported and enjoys a respected high profile. 

Presenting with IMPACT! is a half-day course for senior leaders and aspiring heads, focussing on practical sensible suggestions, Russell leads colleagues through the process of improvement.  This is a relevant and extremely popular course, many colleagues have benefitted from Russell's expertise.  This course is particularly aimed at colleagues trying to improve their presentation skills, no matter what your level of proficiency; you will leave the session knowing more and with a better understanding of how technology should be used.  If you are struggling with PowerPoint or any other presentation technology this session will be exceptionally useful.  If you are looking to enhance your existing skills with greater audience rapport or looking at ways to motivate and influence an audience then you wont be disappointed.  The training usually takes place at your establishment although local training venues and hotel meeting rooms could also be used at an additional cost.

This is a half-day course and lasts up to 3 hours, a longer day can be arranged that includes opportunities for delegates to present back to the audience.  Delegate numbers can be from 1-20, although larger groups could also benefit.  Printed course notes are included together with practical demonstrations of how to use available technology.  These are the subject areas included in the training, others maybe included by arrangement.

In 1995, Russell was asked to write a presentation skills book, "The Science of Evangelism" was published and has sold over 2000 copies, the title is now out of print as an eBook version is now available.  It has an Amazon 5 Star rating and has been enjoyed and valued by many practitioners.  To find out more about Russell Prue just search the Internet using your favourite search tool or check out his pages at Anderton Tiger his training and presentation company www.AndertonTiger.com/Russell

Customer Services team are available from 10.00am to 10.00pm 7 days a week and can be contacted by telephone, email or text at a time convenient to the caller.  Russell believes that colleagues should be able to contact him outside of their busy normal hours and so makes himself available as much as possible.


"
Russell practises what he preaches and always presents with impact! He has delivered training and keynote speeches for teachers and leaders in Hertfordshire schools over a number of years. His lively, amusing and innovative presentation style always gets excellent feedback from participants and delegates"

INSET & Workshops

Our whole-school INSET starts with an Inspection Visit

We have found that for any INSET to be relevant and meaningful, it has to start with a prior familiarisation visit.  During this visit Russell will see for himself how your staff and colleagues are using ICT.  If you are responsible for INSET or other elements of staff training, you will know that motivation and self esteem are essential ingredients for success in the classroom or any learning space.  Russell will prepare a training session either in the form of a keynote or small group seminar workshop with evidence collected from his previous visit.  This will ensure that all points are relevant and correctly match your expectations.  Russell will also reflect and capture key developing trends in learner centric technology and demonstrate how learning and teaching colleagues could embrace some of these.  Russell regularly motivates and inspires colleagues using the latest technology and is used to showing colleagues how they can use this sort of thing in their teaching to improve engagement and learning outcomes.

Strategic Blue-Sky Thinking

Perfect for those looking to work on a strategic development programme, enhance their curriculum delivery or who are considering a major refurbishment project.  Russell has helped Bob Wallbridge, Chief Architect at Hampshire County Council plan and develop some new Hampshire Schools.  Russell's refreshing look at technology has been instrumental in securing the success of several schools.  We have also supported the National College of School Leadership with their BSF & PCP programmes with innovative ideas about how to get greater value from your learning and teaching investments.

The Whole Staff Training Package

This package is perfect if you are considering having Russell speak at your training event for the whole day.  Russell's opening keynotes are always very popular, he usually spends this time scoping out the landscape and showing what young people are getting up to with technology away from our classrooms.  Then armed with the knowledge and evidence of how your establishment is using technology he can then focus in on the potential development opportunities.  If you are taking follow-up workshops from Russell on the same day he will often recommend including a Live Radio Workshop for Educator and some games based learning activities.  This is a fantastic way of demonstrating the key and essential skills of collaboration, teambuilding and creative problem solving and not to mention having some fun at the same time.
