Durham Pilot - The Use of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) in Schools

Working in Education today is a constant challenge. More and more children and young people display negative attitudes to learning and school and teachers are experiencing increasing behavioural and learning difficulties in students. Many schools have committed a great deal of resources to helping staff with training to help. The problem often is though that other peoples tips hints and models only go so far. NLP not only provides techniques, strategies, and solutions to the problems of teaching and learning, motivating and engaging students, it goes further. It enables teachers to develop the flexibility of response to create their own changes.

This ground-breaking project is the result of a unique collaboration between John Carey, Senior Inspector, Durham LA and Kate Benson, International Director of Education for the Society of NLP

The Concept
Many people who study NLP are interested in teaching and learning. They train and go back to their schools or colleges enthused and re-energised. Often there is no-one else to talk about the improvements they make or support them in making new innovations. Occasionally other people respond negatively to their new enthusiasm.

So the project was devised to provide groups of teachers from the same schools with training at the same time. This way we hoped that the learning would reach ‘critical mass’ and impact across the whole school. Our aim is to have the first school where all the staff are trained in NLP. We went further and decided that we would test the results and impact on learning and behaviour.

The pilot provided opportunity to be involved in ground-breaking research into the application of NLP for everyone working in schools - including the pupils! % schools were involved with 5 teachers from each school participating. The training enabled teachers to learn in very specific ways how learning actually works.

Many of us are now aware of research into left and right brain function, learning styles and accelerating learning. NLP encompasses all of these areas and moves them beyond theory into application in the classroom.

NLP uses language in powerful and elegant ways to ensure students really understand you and are motivated to explore and learn more..

Teaching becomes easier and more enjoyable when you have the skills, behaviours, and attitudes of NLP to help you.

The Training Involved

Lots of people having fun!

Storytelling and metaphors, practical activities and games. The reason for this is that the chemical mixes that help learning are the same ones that create pleasurable states. Stress inhibits learning and relaxation encourages it. Through this process the participants became aware of the theoretical underpinning of NLP in a way that enabled them to use it practically.

Two sets of two days with time in between to practice the skills learned on the first two days.

The sessions were sponsored by Matrix Essential Training alliance, Paul Mckenna Training and Durham Local Education Authority.

The benefits to the schools

You schools benefit from using NLP by improving the quality of teaching and learning for students. Teachers share many of the techniques they learned, such as engaging and motivating students, supremely effective communication, improved tutoring , lively learning and much more. All of this is designed to raise standards of achievement and crucially to help schools raise levels of wellbeing in staff and pupils.

Some practical outcomes gained from NLP in Education:
Adults in school will be able to:

integrate the fundamental attitudes and assumptions of NLP, to become a more creative teacher.

make learning generative so adults and pupils continue to learn.

communicate elegantly using the power of language with precision

change negative an unhelpful beliefs their students may have.

establish and maintain rapport to bring reluctant students on board.

pace students so they learn better

know what their students are thinking through calibration techniques

change, create and maintain behaviour.

understand the learning processes of their students so they can create more flexibility in their learning

use models of language patterns that create useful learning states for their students and gather more information about their needs.

elicit what their students’ really want so they can set effective goals that they will achieve and are motivated to act on

utilise anchoring appropriately use in the classroom

change their state so they enjoy what they do more

help pupils to access and build internal resources so their students realise they have their own answers

use metaphor as a powerful teaching tool

install strategies for effective learning
