Geoff Moss
Dr Geoff Moss is an internationally known keynote speaker and author. His work has taken him not only throughout the UK but also to the USA, Australia, S.Africa and Norway. After several years teaching in mainstream and special schools, he went on to work in Child and Family Guidance services as an educational psychology manager. He also taught postgraduate courses at Birmingham and Bristol Universities before becoming a specialist Assertive Discipline® trainer and consultant.
Geoff has over 30 years' experience in a wide range of educational settings. He has written several books relating to special needs, behaviour management, differentiation and teaching styles, and has developed new approaches to managing both the behaviour and learning environment in classrooms. In recent years he has established a national reputation as a highly entertaining and informative presenter who engages and motivates audiences at all levels. As a consultant Geoff has worked in some of the most challenging schools and LEAs and carries substantial credibility as a practitioner. He is very much in touch with the realities and challenges that teachers face in today’s classrooms.
"Geoff Moss's seminars are never hard to track down in a school: just follow the laughter that's loud enough to shake the building and scare birds out of the trees. But behind the hilarious anecdotes and antics lies a serious man with a serious purpose - helping teachers handle difficult and disruptive pupils."
