Frequently asked questions

A few things people usually want to know first.

If your situation does not fit neatly into one of these answers, that is fine. Start with what is happening and we can help work out whether NJATE is the right fit.

What does Not Just A Teacher Education actually help with?

NJATE helps people build practical human capabilities around behaviour, emotional regulation, motivation, communication, relationships, confidence, decision-making and responding under pressure. The exact approach depends on whether the support is for a school, early learning community, family, individual or organisation.

How do I know which service or program is right?

You do not need to work that out before contacting us. Tell us who the support is for, what keeps happening and what you would like to be working better. We can then recommend the most useful starting point, whether that is professional development, a student program, coaching, a partnership or another option.

Is Social Emotional Performance Coaching therapy or counselling?

No. Social Emotional Performance Coaching is a practical, non-clinical coaching service. It can support skills such as self-awareness, regulation, communication, motivation, organisation and follow-through. It is not a replacement for mental health treatment, diagnosis or clinical care. If a need appears to sit outside coaching scope, we will say so clearly.

Do you work with neurodivergent children and teenagers?

Yes, coaching and education can be adapted around the person's communication style, strengths, interests and support needs where this sits within NJATE's scope. We do not provide diagnosis or specialist clinical treatment. Where another professional is better placed to support a need, we can be clear about that.

Do you only work with people in Brisbane?

No. NJATE is Brisbane based and offers face-to-face options in Brisbane and South-East Queensland where suitable. Professional development, consultation and coaching can also be delivered online across Australia.

Can a school or early learning service start with one workshop?

Yes. A single workshop can be the right starting point when the need is specific. Where the bigger challenge is implementation, consistency or several connected issues, ongoing support may be more useful. We will not recommend a larger engagement simply because it is available.

What happens after I submit an enquiry?

We review the context you provide and contact you to clarify what is happening, what outcome matters most and whether NJATE is the right fit. The first conversation is about finding the right starting point. It does not lock you into a program or long-term commitment.
