These are run as staff meetings - just press play
.The films include:
- information from Kate, other experts and teachers using Tales Toolkit

RESEARCH
Research
Tales Toolkit was created 8 years ago and has been developed over time. We’ve done lots of research and have been amazed at the power of story
Our training has been based on everything we’ve learnt - and as part of the training package we’ll provide you with links to some of our favourite research that inspired us.
We’ve tried to include lots of links to videos that are easy to watch so this doesn’t feel too much like extra work
Community Forum
Within our member’s area we have a forum where you can talk to us and also other schools using Tales Toolkit
We’re really keen to support you as much as possible to make Tales Toolkit successful in your school and we love to hear your stories
