Meet Claire

Practical. Honest. Passionate About Empowering Educators

For over 30 years, Claire Gadsby has supported teachers, leaders, schools and governments around the world. She has been trusted by hundreds of schools to help their educators build confidence, strengthen classroom practice and create learning environments where both teachers and pupils thrive.

Showing not telling.

Known for her unique ability to step into any classroom and demonstrate her strategies whilst coaching groups of school staff in the moment. Claire transforms educational research into practical strategies that educators can confidently implement from day one.

Every idea is designed with one goal in mind:

“The children should always be working harder than the teacher.”

This belief underpins every pathway, encouraging classrooms where pupils are active, engaged and challenged, while teachers feel empowered, supported and confident in their practice.

Whether you're beginning your teaching career, developing your expertise or leading improvement across an entire organisation, Claire's mission remains the same:

To empower educators with practical, evidence-informed professional development that creates lasting impact for learners, colleagues and school communities.
