The Power of Live Webinars — Bringing Expert Learning Straight to Your Staffroom
We all learn in different ways. Some of us prefer to listen, others like to read, and many learn best by seeing something demonstrated — and then giving it a go ourselves.
When it comes to choosing professional development for your school, the key is finding the right way to reach and teach your staff. While printed materials and text-based courses can seem cost-effective, they often require someone on the team to absorb all the information, interpret it, and then pass it on. That takes time — and the right people — both of which are often in short supply in busy schools.
If you want to save time, make learning engaging, and ensure your team can interact directly with experts, live webinars offer a powerful alternative.
Why Live Webinars Work for Schools
Live webinars bring expert-led learning straight to your staffroom — without the travel costs or scheduling challenges of in-person training. They combine the best of both worlds: the accessibility of online learning with the energy and interaction of a live classroom.
Here’s why schools are increasingly turning to webinars for their CPD and wellbeing training:
- 🎓 Access to Experts: Hear directly from specialists in real time. You’re not just reading their advice — you’re in the room with them (virtually), able to ask questions and apply their insights immediately.
- 💬 Interactive and Engaging: Webinars encourage live discussion, reflection, and collaboration. You can ask questions, share ideas, and explore real-life scenarios relevant to your school.
- 🧩 Learning That Fits Your Schedule: Sessions are often short, focused, and easy to attend — ideal for staff with limited time between lessons or meetings.
- 💡 Complex Ideas Made Simple: A skilled trainer can make challenging topics easier to understand through examples, visuals, and practical application.
- 🤝 Collaborative Learning: Breakout rooms and chat features help staff learn from each other, not just the presenter.
- 🕓 Instant Takeaways: Participants leave with clear, actionable strategies that can be implemented straight away — no lengthy reading or interpretation required.
- 📺 Replay When Needed: Many webinars are recorded, allowing staff to revisit the session or share key sections with colleagues who couldn’t attend live.
