Testimonials (from related course)
The psychology and language used in teaching are far more than what we just assume at face value and I found it helpful to really have literature to make me evaluate my existing practices. Alicia Jordan, Goulburn High School, Jan 2019
The biggest strength of this course is its promotion of positive relationships between students and teachers through the behaviour management strategies taught. I have already implemented a number of changes that have been highly effective in improving engagement and relationships so would say it's absolutely created a positive change for me. Adriana Carle, Parkdale Secondary College, July 2018
I thought this was a fantastic course and great for every teacher, from the beginner to the experienced. The best part of this course is the specific examples given. I am definitely inspired by this course and I feel more equipped and confident to engage and manage students in the classroom. Laura Drake-Brockman, Hunter River High School, Create an engaged learning environment’, Nov 2017
This is the best course I have ever done! A course so incredibly well organised, with terrific instructional videos, thought-provoking exercises and constant constructive feedback. This course has been an eye-opener in the most fundamental of ways - our humanity and our kindness can change lives. Thank you, Richard, Brigid Mora (Head of Welfare), Kingswood High School, June 2017
The course has made me really think about how I manage my classroom and how to engage the less enthusiastic ones more effectively. It was nice to have a facilitator with a sense of humour! Andrew Shumack, Snowy Mountains Christian School, June 2018
There was a lot of information and a nice balance between activities, articles and videos. It was great to see some teaching practice and the analysis of that through the videos. I really think this course should be something that is compulsory for ALL staff to do. Jessica Neubert, Murwillumbah High School, Aug 2018
The best aspects of the course were seeing the strategies-in-action in videos and the contributions from course colleagues. I have begun seeing dramatic changes already in my classroom when utilising these strategies. Kaan Ozserim, James Cooke Boys High School, ‘Create an engaged learning environment’, Dec 2016
