Excellent. I really enjoyed the course delivery today and how Claire presented all the content. It was easy to interpret and I did gain more knowledge that will help with effective teaching and learning techniques that I will endeavour to build into lessons this school year to enhance what I do already. Just one correction needed in one slide ….. remove the word ‘is’. 👍 Thanks Claire
