This PD was very relevant and suitable to use within a classroom setting. It left me with lots of things to try and thoughts about how to group students.

This was a very well put together and designed course. It took you through the theory that underpins collaboration and then gave you a task that gave the theory practical relevance. This was a very well put together and designed course. It took you through the theory that underpins collaboration and then gave you a task that gave the theory practical relevance. It was well paced, that allowed you to time to both implement and reflect before moving on. This is a good course to undertake at the beginning of the school year as you can then apply what you are learning as you go along. I found it really our Project Based Learning program.
