Very informative. Terrific examples of student work.

Really helpful.

Very Helpful

Some excellent ideas/strategies that I am excited to implement. I would have found it more engaging if the booklet matched up with the Powerpoint. Perhaps reformat the booklet in order of topics addressed.

Very practical, appreciative of the resources and hand outs.

Breaking the study of history down into a series of sequential steps has made an inquiry model much easier to comprehend.

Can I save Sue to a USB?!

The scaffolding for the inquiries is very interesting and the approach will be useful. The ‘garbage exercise’ is a great introductory excuse.

Great, practical issues/advice/templates to use with juniors. A whole different approach to teach juniors to enquire. Wonderful!

This is the most useful and practical professional development I have attended in years. Thank you.

Outstanding resources and ideas which can be used in several subjects. Great to have a teacher and student focussed workshop. A very valuable experience.

Good strategies to incorporate within my classes next lesson. Great tips and hints to also guide my own reflections.

I loved the practical (in class applications). tips/hints/activities Sue shared with us! It made my mind tick over the millions of ideas that I can use in my classroom! Thank you!

It was practical and based on good classroom practice. I can take things back to my classes. This is what everyone wants from PD.

Interesting, entertaining and gave me a new source of ideas to use in the classroom. Well done Sue!
