Alban Education Celebrates Powerful Partnership with The MTPT Project
Thirty-five colleagues in the South East have benefited this year from one of The MTPT Project’s Cradle to Classroom programmes, as part of Alban Education’s offer to colleagues during, and following the parental leave period.
The programme empowered me to find answers within myself. At the end of my maternity leave, I applied for and secured a new role! It has given me confidence in my ability to return to work.
The workshop encouraged us to connect with each other, making me feel less isolated about returning to work. We had time to think about our values, strengths and how our experiences as parents actually add to our professional lives. It was brilliant!
I absolutely love the flexibility this programme offers. The sessions are really helpful and come just at the right time.
This partnership gives state school colleagues fully-funded access to three coaching and workshop offers designed to support them as they navigate their parenting journey:
- Group coaching during the parental leave period
- Return to Work workshops
- Group coaching (Sustain and Grow) for colleagues back at work with children aged 5 or younger
Cohorts and workshops run throughout the academic year, and recorded access is available to support those who cannot make the live dates.
Becoming a parent is a joyful moment in our colleagues’ lives, but this time can come with challenges, and too many educators find it difficult to manage the balance between family life and a career that they love. This is why we see – year on year – thousands of mothers aged 30-39 leaving the classroom.
Alban Education recognises the importance of supporting colleagues over this key period where more than 67% of teachers become parents. We want colleagues in our region to know how valuable they are to our schools, and to feel empowered to design careers that fit in with their new family lives.
The MTPT Project’s Cradle to Classroom programme is designed to specifically address the challenges faced by colleagues at different stages of their parenting journeys. The coaching and workshops are positive, empowering and offer participants the tools to fully enjoy both their personal and professional lives.
