WHAT CHALLENGE DID Magna Learning Partnership FACE?
Supporting Magna Learning Partnership with Drama-Based Training at Their Annual Conference
As part of their commitment to staff development and wellbeing, Magna Learning Partnership invited ted Learning to deliver two engaging masterclasses at their annual conference. Magna Learning Partnership, a respected multi-academy trust overseeing several schools, academies and colleges, sought to provide meaningful, thought-provoking sessions for their teaching and support staff. They specifically wanted to address two crucial areas: mental wellbeing in education and how to navigate brave conversations in the workplace.
Both sessions were delivered in a lecture-style format, tailored to large audiences but retaining the personal impact for which ted Learning is known. What made these sessions different—and what resonated so strongly with Magna Learning Partnership’s ethos—was our use of live, drama-based scenarios. These real-world re-enactments didn’t just inform; they enabled participants to feel the emotional complexity of each topic, encouraging empathy, reflection, and a deeper understanding of how their behaviours affect others.
By blending expert facilitation with scripted performances, we created a space where staff could explore sensitive issues in a safe and powerful way. The result? Practical insights, long-lasting learning, and overwhelmingly positive feedback from participants across the trust.
Magna Learning Partnership continues to invest in innovative learning experiences for its staff, and we’re proud to support that journey through our signature blend of drama-based training and emotionally intelligent content.
HOW DID WE HELP?
How ted Learning Designed Bespoke Brave Conversations & Mental Health Masterclasses for Magna Learning Partnership
ted Learning collaborated with Magna Learning Partnership to design and deliver two tailored masterclasses, using drama-based learning to bring real challenges to life.
To ensure relevance, we worked closely with the organisation to understand key workplace and student-related challenges, allowing us to create scenarios that resonated with staff experiences.
- Brave Conversations Masterclass – Focused on supporting employees in handling difficult internal discussions, as well as navigating challenging conversations with parents. We designed two drama-based scenes, providing participants with practical strategies to manage these situations effectively.
- Mental Health Awareness Masterclass – Developed in response to the pandemic’s impact on staff and student wellbeing. Delivered by a wellbeing expert, this session equipped employees with practical tips and techniques to support mental health in the workplace, while drama-based scenarios helped explore real-life challenges and solutions.
These engaging and interactive masterclasses provided Magna Learning Partnership staff with the confidence, skills, and tools to handle sensitive conversations and wellbeing concerns, fostering a supportive and resilient workplace culture.
