In The Words of The Wise

Professor Carol Dweck
Author of Growth Mindset
“James has deep knowledge of schooling and a great sense of humour. With decades of practice, research, insight and thinking, there is seemingly no challenge he is unprepared to take on to make a difference to the learning lives of children.”
Professor John Hattie
Author of Visible Learning
“James has the skills of explaining the complex in a way which is accessible & inviting. Examples of how it could be & the insights into what success looks like will leave you wanting to do things differently without a bag of guilt weighing you down.”
Professor Mick Waters
Fellow of the College of Teachers
You’re not imagining it - teaching is getting more difficult.
Technology changes daily. Students struggle with focus. And your to-do list? It’s never-ending.
You want your students to engage deeply. You want to feel proud of your work.
But between planning, marking, and managing behaviour, who has time to dig through research or reinvent the wheel?
How Small Shifts Can Change Everything
We hear this from teachers all the time, and we’ve been in those classrooms too.
You don’t need more theory. You need clear, practical strategies that work in real classrooms, with real students.
That’s what PD-OD delivers.
Led by James Nottingham, every short video gives you a quick win (and you don’t work harder).
