Who We Help
Transform Your School Community
Use thinking and behavioural insights to support social-emotional learning.
Educators are asked to do a lot. They are champions of academic achievement, exceptional instruction and lifelong learning. They are trusted advisors for students as well as colleagues. They are creators of communities where staff, students and parents feel safe, supported and valued.
Schools have the responsibility of shaping the futures for students, families and communities around the globe, which is no small feat for the administrators and educators leading these organisations.
As you seek to build nurturing and high-achieving environments for staff and students, our Student|Teacher Emergenetics Programme™ (STEP) is right for you. Through our assessments, workshops and Certifications, we have helped transform educational practices.
Schools most commonly look to STEP to:
- Empower administrators and educators to embrace asset-based thinking
- Enhance collaboration and communication among administrators, key personnel, teachers and students
- Improve instruction and classroom dynamics with strategies to reach all learning styles
- Provide students with the language to advocate for themselves and their learning needs
- Promote cognitive diversity, inclusion and a positive school climate and culture
Get Started with STEP
Create professional development opportunities for your staff with one of our signature learning programmes:
Team Dynamics for Small Groups
Three to nine participants
Our introductory virtual workshop empowers attendees to discover their personal and collective brilliances. Providing a foundational understanding of Emergenetics, Team Dynamics for Small Groups delivers concrete tools to enhance communication, strengthen collaboration and build positive working relationships.
Meeting of the Minds
10 or more participants
Our signature workshop – the Meeting of the Minds – can be delivered virtually or in person. Attendees discover their strengths and those of their colleagues while schools gain practical tools to enhance working relationships and create inclusive cultures. Designed for adult learners, the programme’s content is simple to understand, immediately applicable and engaging to all!
All programme participants complete our scientifically valid and reliable assessment: the Emergenetics Profile, to reveal the ways they prefer to think and behave. With greater self-awareness and knowledge of the seven Emergenetics Attributes, staff discover their strengths, learn to communicate more effectively and embrace diversity of thought.

Emergenetics in Action
“Using the STEP tool has been a massive benefit to our students, teachers and community for the past seven years. Students have the ability to understand their own strengths as well as how to utilise them in various aspects of their life, while teachers get another opportunity to understand their kids at a deeper level. As a building, we've been able to incorporate the tool into everything from daily lessons to staff meetings, which has resulted in various ways to connect with one another as we maintain a positive school culture.”
