Travancore School offers a range of interactive workshops, professional development and literature reviews to schools or teams. We invite schools to talk with us about their needs and offer a model of professional development suitable for their context. The list below is not exhaustive and we would be happy to have further discussions around targeted PD with either short-term or longer-term goals.
