Evolve EdTech | Next Step Educator | Professional Learning Academies
I work with educators to strengthen digital confidence, implement innovation with intention, and transform their experience into influence — supporting meaningful growth both in and beyond the classroom.
Practical strategies. Clear direction. Real progress.
A New Era of Education
Education isn’t standing still — and neither should we.
Artificial intelligence, digital transformation, and evolving professional pathways are reshaping what it means to be an educator.
The challenge isn’t simply keeping up.
It’s leading with clarity.
Through Evolve EdTech, structured academy programs, and Next Step Educator, Tristan supports educators to confidently navigate change, strengthen their practice, and recognise the value of the expertise they already hold.

This is where meaningful classroom innovation begins.
Your expertise has value.
Next Step Educator is designed for educators who are ready to expand their impact — sharing, packaging and positioning their knowledge in new and meaningful ways.
Whether that’s creating resources, building programs or developing new professional opportunities, this pathway supports educators to think beyond the traditional model — while still honouring their passion for education.
Our Academies, Tech-Ready Teacher Academy and The Next Step Academy brings together practical implementation, strategic thinking and ongoing professional growth.
Inside, you’ll find guided learning pathways, actionable frameworks, and a supportive community designed to help you stay ahead of change — not chase it.

Meet The Evolve EdTech & Next Step Educator Founder
Hey, I’m Tristan Heron — a Future-Ready Teaching Specialist and founder of Evolve EdTech and Next Step Educator.
I’ve been teaching in primary and secondary schools since 2011, and I understand the realities of busy, complex classrooms. My passion for educational technology began early in my career, when I saw how the right tools could strengthen engagement and learning — not replace good teaching, but support it.
Through Evolve EdTech, Next Step Educator, and our membership academies I help educators like you build confidence, integrate meaningful educational technology, and recognise the value of their sharing your expertise.
Education is evolving. I’m here to help you lead it with clarity and purpose.
