What did teachers think?

“It prepared me in that I know

I am capable of

delivering this curriculum based on how

each lesson w

as discussed.”

“ I can do this!”

“If I am studying to deliver this curriculum

, but feel I still don’t feel com

petent I would like to

reach out to your team to get that

advice/guidance that I need in order to be prepared to deliver this im

portant curriculum.”

“More inform

ation sessions, practice, hearing w

hat other schools/teachers are doing and w

hat they found to be beneficial etc.”

“This is the most relevant ProD I have ever

had.”

“Yes; there was a good balance of direct

instruction, team activities and sm

all group discussion.”
