Some feedback from schools and teachers
Thank you for delivering a fantastic series of very thought-provoking and genuinely stimulating sessions. Feedback has been universally positive and it is undoubtedly the best teaching-focused INSET we have had here. The meetings afterwards produced a slew of excellent ideas inspired by what you said, and you have engaged staff in a manner that is really exciting for future teaching and the learning prospects for our students.
Thank you for such a great CPD event at our school. The footprint you left behind in the staffroom talk is already changing practice.
It was a real ‘coup’ for us to have you and the staff were unanimous in their praise of you. It’s the best feedback I’ve ever had (both anecdotally and on formal feedback forms); staff described it as the best morning’s CPD they had ever had.
Very informative and useful. Lots of easy to use strategies – thoroughly beneficial.
Great practical strategies wrapped up with relevant and rich examples. Liked the realistic approach and lack of emphasis on Ofsted.
Very valuable, helpful tips but also useful theory. Engaging and dynamic.
Reignited my passion for teaching!
Inspirational!

Just wanted to let you know that I’m reading “What if..?” and finding some of the ideas enormously challenging. Here’s a story from my 11 yr old son who attends gymnastics training 3 times a week but has just had 2 weeks off. In the car driving to today’s session he asked “why is it that when you practice and practice something, you get worse the last two times and then if you don’t do it for ages suddenly you’re better at it? “. This really struck a chord having read all your stuff about memory. He has clearly experienced this phenomena whist trying to learn gymnastics moves and I found it fascinating.
Anyway, must press on with the reading!

Rightly Said Julia 🙂
it is a constructive platform to discuss the core values of what actual education is. Most of the time our conception might turn into a litmus paper test, however with the above description i must say that this is a great platform to entice every student’s approach well.
Enjoyed the talk tonight at Oundle School, shame it had to stop at 90 mins, thought provoking
Thank you
