| COLIN WEATHERLEY |
|
| Colin was a secondary
headteacher in West Lothian and Edinburgh from 1988
to 1996. In 1998 he came across CSP in the American
INSET video series 'The Brain and Learning'. Network
Educational Press were so impressed with the CSP
training materials that they negotiated the exclusive
rights to promote CSP in the UK and asked Colin
to manage the programme throughout the UK. Colin
has since authored two books featuring CSP: 'Leading
the Learning School' (2000) and 'Transforming Teaching
& Learning' (2003). Both are published by Network
Educational Press. He is now CSP Manager for Scotland. |

| PETE FOX |
|
| Much of the INSET series
'The Brain and Learning' (see above) was filmed
in Gilboa-Conesville School, New York State, where
Pete Fox taught upper secondary English. And the
main reason for this was the outstanding success
that Pete and colleagues - including his wife, Jane
(see below) - were achieving with CSP in their classrooms.
In June 2002 Pete and Jane retired from Gilboa and
in October Pete joined the staff of Network Educational
Press as our Principal CSP Co-ordinator (trainer),
based in Edinburgh. He was then also the natural
choice to take charge of the community section of
our website. |

Jane and her husband
Pete gave the original CSP seminar in Edinburgh,
in April 1999, which started off the whole CSP UK
movement. Since then she has run many CSP training
institutes throughout the UK, often working with
Pete. In so doing she has established a reputation
for providing learning experiences of the highest
quality. Jane taught early primary classes at Gilboa-Conesville
School and, like Pete, features prominently in the
video programme 'The Brain and Learning'.
In January 2004 Jane joined the staff of Network
Educational Press. |

| JO MORRISON |
|
| was the first UK teacher
to become an accredited CSP trainer. Until September
2003 she worked with underachieving and disaffected
teenagers who were excluded from school or school
refusers. Using recent research into how the brain
works she developed techniques designed to help
children learn and tried them out in her own teaching.
Jo is now a full-time educational trainer, devoting
most of her time to CSP work as a member of the
CSP UK training team. |
