So many teachers and professionals face, what we at the Next Steps Institute call, the “cliff edge.”

For all kinds of reasons, it can appear out of nowhere. One morning so many people will wake up and think: “I can’t do this anymore.”

It’s isolating. It’s upsetting. And, especially for teachers, it can feel impossible to say out loud.

Worse still, professional development which supports ambitions beyond the classroom is almost unheard of.

This is why the NSI exists.

As Dr Cyrus Golding put it:

“Taking the friction out of shifting, NSI helps people recognise that their talents and potential is greater than they might realise.”

But we need your help.
