Testimonials

We had an awesome day with you on Friday, definitely one of the best-spent Teacher Only Days we have had! Our whole team has been raving about it.

What an awesome, rich learning day we are having here at Viscount. As usual Kirstin is stunning in the way she facilitates sessions here and we so appreciate her support and expertise. However, I also know you have done enormous work in preparing such rich learning resources to support us in deepening our understanding of the ANZH curriculum and what it looks like for our teaching and learning programmes. A HUGE thank you to you and your team for the blessing you have been to Viscount School in providing professional learning that is so beneficial and relevant.

We'll be in touch but a HUGE THANK YOU for the upskilling you have given to our junior teachers so far. Working with Jacqui Sharp has had a dynamic impact on my teaching practice. Traditionally a pen and paper teacher I now consider myself a 21st-century educator thanks to Jacqui. I use digital workshops in all facets of my teaching and students are able to access these independently from the teacher to create their own learning pathways. The resource website that Jacqui has developed for us is comprehensive. I use it for teaching and modelling as well as for students to access independently, with a group or at home.

Thank you again for giving me the tools and knowledge to extend myself further, and to challenge me to become a better and more effective teacher!

Comfortably the best PD I have had in my time as a teacher. David is brilliant in not just educating me on how to incorporate ICT in my practice, particularly in Literacy, but also he spends time designing resources with me so I have a clear pathway to success.

Many thanks for your fabulous work with our teachers. It is interesting to read your report to identify what teachers are asking for help with. You are so generous with sharing your resources. When we are planning in our teams teachers often say what about Jacqui’s resources. We really appreciate how generous you continue to be in a allowing us to access your work, which has taken you so much time to develop.

It has been wonderful to be able to work with such competent and skilled facilitators. As a school we have made outstanding progress with digital technology. We were in a much stronger position to support our students with distance learning when we had to shut our schools.

Many thanks for all you have done to support me over the years. Much of my own development has been through my connection with you and I am eternally grateful.

Thank you so much for the insightful presentation. You’ve filled my brain with ideas

Rebecca matched her help to my level of expertise. She was encouraging and helped with resources. She showed understanding about the actualities of working with young children on creative projects.

The online learning resources I create, now promote not only content and response opportunities but a component that purposefully promotes digital literacy.

David is a wealth of knowledge. He has a terrific understanding of how to interpret what the teacher/student needs and crafting solutions and pathways in digital technology to make this a reality!

Bex we have so enjoyed the way in which you have upskilled us, both the accessible way it is delivered and for all of the ways you have opened our eyes to a new world!

Thanks so much for all you have done for us at Huirangi - you have an amazing knowledge base and your support, especially around the local curriculum for me is so appreciated. I have really enjoyed the chance to work with you - especially your flexibility and understanding of teachers strengths and next steps. We'll be in touch but a HUGE THANK YOU for the upskilling you have given to our junior teachers so far

Thank you David. You are an amazing facilitator. Staff were engaged, enjoyed your sessions and appreciated the depth and expertise which you brought to the delivery of Maths over the past two days.

Thanks again for last week. There was a lot for us to take in and percolate on, but we really appreciated the way you worked with us. You clearly bring strong experience as a PLD provider, with a deep understanding not only of the maths curriculum itself, but also of how we have arrived at this point.
