Participants Reviews from our latest ‘Introduction’ workshops:
Workshops rated from 1 to 5 (1-Weak...5-Strong)
“Fascinating– I’m always the cynical teacher (old –teacher of 25 years) but this
course has given me loads of great ideas which I’m definitely going to try with
my new class. It’s a new approach like a breath of fresh air. The best course for
keeping my attention I have ever been on.”
K. Johnston, Sandiway Primary School
“Fantastic– really built up into an intellectually coherent system. Thankyou. Will
use tomorrow!!”
Anne Laskowski, Secondary Teacher History, AST
“Fab! Inspired to really go for it as of tomorrow! Thankyou.”
M. J. Strawbridge, Deputy Head, Primary School
“Wonderful! I feel passionate about this way of learning and simply can’t wait to
get started and give it a go! The instructor was inspirational, enthusiastic and
genuine– obviously knew what he was talking about-approachable!.”
Sharon Tucker, KS1
“Fantastic– really has helped me to focus on what I would like to achieve and see
my students achieving in my lessons. Loved working in teams, have enjoyed the opportunity
to get to know people. Have swapped email addresses and are trying to arrange to
do the ’Returners’ course together!”
Lucy Hull, Secondary PE Teacher
“I can’t wait to start implementing the structures particularly RallyCoach!”
Jenny Bashford, Secondary Science Teacher
“The best course I have been on! Want to do loads tomorrow but need to focus and
start small.”
Alyson Coates, Secondary Maths Teacher
“The content was significant but rarely did I feel overwhelmed. Material was revisited
and opportunities were plenty to ask questions. Elaine was enthusiastic and energetic.
There was a great group dynamic despite only being together for two days. Lovely
venue!!”
Peter Pugh, Secondary History Teacher
“Excellent. Lots covered in a variety of ways. I was ‘switched on’ at all times.
Great new ideas. It has made me realise there are ways around the lower ability
children instead of worrying when I can’t work 1-1 with them all the time. I thoroughly
enjoyed this course after being unsure of what Cooperative Learning is. I now know
and can definitely see the BENEFITS! Thank You!”
Anna Marshall, Primary Teacher Key Stage 1
