Katie Jones
Katie Jones is known as Australia’s ‘Grade Transformation Expert’ due to her amazing success in catapulting students’ grades in exams and assessments.
With over 14 years experience in the UK and Australia as an external exam marker, scrutiny panel member, assessment moderator and national award-winning teacher, she’s dedicated herself to helping students master ‘all things exams’.
Her extensive experience across multiple exam boards means Katie knows EXACTLY what examiners and assessors are looking for and how this can sometimes differ to the ways that students learn information in class and homework.
This is why she works with high school and college students through her online services including the Exam Mastery program for schools, webinar student workshops, and study coaching membership program, plus as a casual relief teacher to keep herself in the classroom too, to help them ‘show they know’ their stuff when it comes to exams and assessment.
Katie is the expert in transforming students’ grades and confidence, so they achieve best possible results, feel in control of their study and enjoy the journey along the way

Hear from teachers who have attended a Critical Agendas Event
Emily Anderson – Saint Ignatius College
Classroom Dynamics – the latest strategies and solutions to positive classroom management – Glen Pearsall
I really enjoyed the small group size. The sessions were interactive and we not only saw Glenn demonstrate how he would use strategies himself but we heard from other educators on their challenges and thoughts and also saw video examples from other schools. I find this multi modal style of presentation much more engaging. It was also appreciated to have a copy of the book to take back to school and access to the online platform.

“Build Positive Relationships and a Positive Work Environment Within Your Administration Team/Office by Sally Learey”
This session was one of the most empowering workshops that I have ever done and I leave the session with extremely useful and relevant tools to use going forward. Thanks so much to Sally for leading us in the session so positively.
Tina Hobbs – Administration Workshops
I have come away from this session feeling very inspired and so much more positive. I now have many new ideas/techniques/strategies regarding how I can better manage a workload that often feels overwhelming. Some of these can be implemented immediately while others are more long-term plans. Thank you for making this workshop so practical. I just wish that all school admin staff had the opportunity to undertake this course.
