Assistant Headteacher - Our Lady & St John Catholic College

'Metacognition' - whole staff online training

"It was an extremely useful and incredibly informative training - commented on by most participants. The trainer was excellent, quite clearly had done most of the things shown and shared and was very experienced in supporting HA students in a school setting. The materials and examples used to support the training were fantastic and completely real life."

Head of Department - City of Leicester Technology College

'Stretch and Challenge Your Most Able Students' - whole staff online training - July 2020

"As a school we have had a great response to the training delivered by Dave Taylor. Liking the course leader is always a win when you are teaching the worst students - teachers!"

Head of HR - Eerde International Boarding School, Netherlands

'Teaching EAL Pupils in the Mainstream Classroom' - small group online training - May 2020

"The course was excellent in my opinion - the first two sections in particular. He keeps on top of the latest ideas and research out there and gave instantly transferable ideas for my classroom teaching but also a wider context and strategies to put in a programme to train students to be independent learners. The time just flew by - always a good sign."
