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.
