What the trainers think so far...
From 2009 / 2010:
"Really enjoyed running sessions and it has improved my delivering of INSET and increased my confidence. It is also making me look at my own teaching."
" The blue and green review sheets were very useful and the lists of 15 - 20 experiments provided. I changed some of the powerpoints just to shorten them as with so much discussion taking place we would have struggled with time."
"Very informative - plus manageable in the classroom. I enjoyed it, thank you!"
"I think this is a great idea and one which many non-specialist (Primary) science teachers will be able to take on board."
"This should be a fantastic training opportunity for all to take part in - very useful - will make people think."
"Fantastic initiative. Will be very useful to promote shift in mindset for teachers re: effective planning for learning from practical activities."
"Excellent, illuminating session. Thank you"
"Excellent CPD. Very Useful and will have an impact on my teaching and learning"
"Very good CPD and I can see quite a few 'lightbulb' moments by teachers in the outreach sessions."
"Many thanks for a thought-provoking day."
"I found it really interesting & thought-provoking."
"Enjoyable and certainly 'food for thought'."
"I really enjoyed the hands on approach as I was able to see the students' point of view...it has made me evaluate my use of practicals."
"Very good session with very clear instructions and clear resources. Very good initiative."
"Very good day that has provided a well thought out strategy & good training materials. Thanks very much."
