How it works

Select from Proxima's extensive bank of phase- and subject-specific scenarios to create engaging and impactful opportunities for practice and feedback.

Respond

Teachers explore a scenario and explain how they would respond - and why. Each scenario focuses on a specific teaching challenge.

Review

Teachers review anonymised peer responses to the same scenario. Research-informed prompts are provided to guide the feedback process.

Reflect

Teachers reflect on the feedback they have received and integrate suggestions from their peers and session leads into their practice.
