Thank you so much for providing such deep understandings, research and questioning in your early childhood webinars. I was hesitant about the quality of the webinars (I have been to enough PD courses where I walk out thinking it didn't give me anything new or thought provoking) - but your webinars are thought provoking and well laid out to progress thinking... It has truly been refreshing to be inspired and provoked as a teacher from your webinars and I thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with me.
My thoughts about this webinar. - Inspirational - Motivating - Reignites my passion for teaching and learning - Makes me realise the importance of decentralising and simplifying things. - Makes me realise the importance of active listening - Drives home the point that I need to reignite my passion for teaching, leading and learning.
