“The best course I have ever been on. The materials were very useful. The course leader was brilliant, approachable and amusing. I can actually go back to school with a lot of useful and usable ideas and resources.”
Teacher , Brunts AcademyGreat to have some 'take away' strategies that are suitable for all texts and enabling differentiation for all learners.
An absolutely superb course. The trainer, Pamela, was welcoming, gave us fantastic guidance and encouraged us to share without pressure. The content was brilliant, providing active strategies and tasks rather than mere verbal guidance.
The strategies presented challenged my perspectives on how to move my more able students on.
This was an enjoyable and very useful course, with great strategies I can use across key stages immediately.
Super course. Really useful ideas and materials I can use straightaway.
Excellent! Loved all the activities! The trainer, Pamela, was fabulous - very knowledgeable.
