JOHN FEWINGS

WHAT YOU SAY

 JOHN FEWINGS

John Fewings is an innovative educator with over 30 years experience in a variety of roles across the teaching and training landscape.  He has a keen interest in creating personalised approaches to learning and teaching, which is apparent in his training sessions - which are warmly received and welcomed for their down-to-earth practicality.

John commenced his teaching career in some of the more challenging secondary schools in Hull, where his enthusiasm to tackle the difficulties posed by inner-city schools soon saw him rewarded with his own department.  After ten years as a very successful Head of RE in one of the largest schools in the country, John took up a post in Hull�s Adult Education Department.  Having helped to set up a new Adult Education Centre in Bransholme (the largest housing estate in Europe) and after fronting a pioneering Community Education project in the Preston Road area of East Hull, John took up a post with the Humberside Curriculum and Staff Development Centre.  Besides facilitating the development of college lecturers and post-16 trainers from backgrounds as diverse as the NHS and the Police Authority, John also designed and delivered management development training sessions, with a particular focus on team development.

John was then invited to take on the role of Manager of the Centre for Learning, an innovative project funded by the Humberside Training & Enterprise Council.  The remit was exciting � to discover what was happening in the field of innovative learning and to disseminate that information to relevant people and organisations throughout Humberside by whatever means were appropriate.  As well as organising conferences, events and seminars, John also edited (and wrote much of) the acclaimed �Brainwaves� journal, copies of which can still be found in staffrooms and on bookshelves across East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire.

After working with the Humberside TEC as their Learning Innovations Adviser,  John joined The Zone (a government-funded Action Zone based in East Hull) as an aptly-named Innovator � initially with responsibility for Gifted & Talented pupils, and then latterly with the broader remit of Teaching & Learning.

John is now an independent trainer and consultant.  With his wealth of knowledge and experience, which he communicates easily and readily, John has already started to carve himself a niche in the world of training and development.  His Brainboxx website is already well established and set to become a platform for John�s future plans.

John Fewings is an innovative, flexible and experienced trainer who is as much at home with primary school children as he is with senior managers � and all stages in between.  As a perceptive and skilled communicator, it is his ability to pitch to his audience that ensures the effectiveness of his training sessions, which are interactive, engaging and thought-provoking.

All of John Fewings� training sessions and events are designed to appeal to the full range of learning styles and are full of practical ideas delivered in a style that is both inspirational and fun.
