Voice Tips for teachers

Last year a teacher received thousands in compensation for losing her voice, and thereby her source of income, but I don't know any schools who have invested money into training so it doesn't happen in their school. There will be at least one teacher in every school who has trouble with their 'throat' or voice and all would benefit from being shown good practice.

Looking after your voice should be part of all teacher training but it isn't. We cover the essential points in an hour workshop. Participants will:

• understand how voice is produced
• realise the important factors involved
• identify the environmental factors
• be able to reduce the risk factors

The workshop has a practical element so participants may want to wear loose, comfortable clothing.

Cost: £100 per staff meeting
