Benefits to Teachers

Having worked closely with several schools over the pilot period, the Localbiz team have created, reviewed and updated a wide array of teacher support materials to make it as easy as possible for teachers to get started. Our telephone support service is also available to discuss ideas and provide guidance.

Available for primary and secondary school teachers, these are in the form of comprehensive Teacher Guides, Student Workbooks and PowerPoint Presentations. All materials are available in electronic format on our on-line Project library (word, excel and PowerPoint) for immediate use. Teachers can use lesson plans ‘as is’ or adapt to suit specific circumstances.
