Working in our schools can feel all-encompassing at the best of times. Add a young family into the mix and life can quickly become overwhelming and stressful. At The MTPT Project, we see too many amazing, experienced colleagues burn out, feeling forced to choose between their careers and their families.
But teaching, leading and supporting in schools can be compatible with family life – even the most family-friendly career choice going!
Join us on our Sustain and Grow group coaching programme this September to take control of your work and home lives.
All sessions run live online (zoom) from 3.30pm to 4.30pm

Who is the programme for?
Parents of young children who are in teaching, leadership, central Trust or support staff roles in our schools. The programme is suitable for colleagues who have recently returned from parental leave, all the way up to parents with a child aged five or younger.
Our Sustain and Grow group coaching programme is fully inclusive of all parents – it’s not just for mums!
Who is our facilitating coach?
Emma Sheppard is the Founder of The MTPT Project. With twelve years’ experience of teaching and leading in challenging contexts, working both full and part-time as a middle leader and mother to two young children, she knows the emotional, logistical and physical battles that we go through as parent-teachers.
After founding The MTPT Project in 2016, Emma qualified as a coach in 2022, secured her ACC with the ICF in 2023 and has been delivering 1:1 and group coaching since 2017.
Emma creates a calm, open space where coachees feel confident to share and move forwards with their goals in a safe space where challenge is gentle but insightful, and the focus is on making things better.
Workshop places are fully-funded for state-school colleagues in England thanks to support from our regional school, MAT and TSH partners. Please do thank your local organisation on social media or in person for their support.
