We share teaching and leadership theory and practice to significantly improve learning progress.
Challenging Learning has a long history of working with schools and TAFE colleges in Australia and New Zealand. James Nottingham gave his first keynote speech at a National Principals Conference in 2008 and has been visiting the region 2-3 times per year ever since.
In 2012, we started our first long-term project and in 2016, our first employees set up our Australia office. Just before the covid pandemic, we also began our first long-term project in Japan, with many more planned as soon as the borders open again (although online coaching seems to be working well too!)
