Say ‘So Long’ to ‘So-So’ Training & Design!
It’s Time to Elevate.
We are a Full-Service Education Consultancy that Offers a Variety of Professional Development and Design Solutions for Teachers.
Who We Are:
EduElevate was born out of a passion to help teachers push the boundaries of Innovation in Education.
Our team of Teacher Innovators believe in lifelong and mutual learning – we see true innovation in Education as teachers coming together to collaborate through passion and love with the ultimate goal of changing the face of Education not only in South Africa, but the world.
Our ‘Why’:
We embrace and encourage a culture of coming together, sharing, embracing and elevating ideas that will ultimately create magical opportunities in Education.
Today, it is more important than ever before to embrace Future Thinking in our classrooms and beyond. Skills such as collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving and more are all Future Skills that will help us adapt to and thrive in an ever-changing future.
EduElevate was founded on this exact principle – to help teachers find exciting and meaningful ways to incorporate Future Thinking in their lessons.
Our range of Future Thinking hands-on and interactive workshops, as well as personalised design services for teachers and schools aim to empower, inspire and elevate innovation in Education.
We show teachers how to effectively integrate Future Thinking through technology in a meaningful and pragmatic way to illuminate potential and magic in schools.
We Love Working with Education Rebels and Dreamers.
And We Would Love to ‘Rebel’ and Dream with You!
What We Offer:
WORKSHOPS
Our range of interactive workshops challenge teachers to think critically about EdTech and Education.
Each workshop encourages active engagement where teachers brainstorm innovative ideas, identify opportunities, make decisions and develop solutions using EdTech tools and strategies!
SPEAKING
Need a speaker or trainer for your next Edu-Innovation / EdTech event or workshop? We would love to be part of the excitement!
Having spoken at events attended by local and international guests from as far as Dubai and London, our founder, Frankie Cilliers would love to inspire and empower your guests!
EDU-DESIGN
Are you a teacher job hunting and need a bit of help to redesign your CV? Or perhaps you’re looking to add a bit of magic to your classroom through professionally designed posters.
Our ‘Edu-Graphic-Magineers’ are ready to create something spectacular for you! We also assist schools with graphic design needs.
CUSTOM SOLUTIONS
We understand that some schools and teachers prefer customised and more personal professional development and design solutions.
EduElevate is ready to inspire and empower your team and would love to discuss a more personalised solution for your school or team that are specific to your unique needs.
Backed by Our Passion for Teachers and Education.
Everything We Do is Inspired by Our Over 13 Years’ Experience in the Education Sector and Our three Core Values:
1. Growth & Transformation
We work with teachers and schools to prioritise and realise opportunities in Education so they can grow and build innovative agility. We help define and implement transformation, change and potential.
2. Purpose, Meaning & Strategy
Frankly Innovate supports teachers to discover and realise their purpose, strategy and vision in terms of Technology and Creativity in Education. We focus on the ‘how’ and ‘why’ – the bigger picture and the deeper meaning.
We help teachers understand how to use and how they can implement tools and strategies – when teachers have a deeper understanding of why they are doing something and the benefit the change or implementation adds, real innovation is able to take place.
3. Individuality
We fully embrace the individual ideas and dreams of other teachers and love learning from other teachers at our workshops and events!
A big focus of our consultancy has always been to encourage mutual-learning amongst teachers – providing educators with a space where they can feel empowered and motivated to share their unique ideas and strategies.
We Encourage Meaningful, Practical, Creative & Dynamic Collaboration.
EduElevate Believes in Creating Innovation Together through Bravery and Curiosity.
OUR FOUNDER:
I am Frankie Cilliers. I have been in the education industry for the last twelve years. EduElevate was born out of a passion to help schools make a difference in the lives of their biggest stakeholders – their students.
I have worked with several South African and international schools and companies over the years, helping them to initiate a variety of impactful learning and marketing strategies. I believe that teachers are some of the most innovative people in the world!
Through technology and creative thinking, we are all capable of making a positive change in the lives of whole school communities.
In 2022, I was honoured to receive The Mail & Guardian Top 200 Young South Africans award in the Education category. This prestigious award recognises the work I do in terms of empowering students and educators through technology in Education.
