The use of coaching as a framework for non-hierarchical peer observations has been very helpful.

An absolute triumph

ERPN SEND conference, it was absolutely amazing and so informative.  To be honest, it was the best conference/workshop I have ever attended.  Please let us know any information on future events I would highly recommend them – they had an honest approach!

The adaptation of the programme to suit our needs and to tie in with other speakers on the day was really helpful.

some useful ideas and good opportunities to debate with colleagues

Excellent event really enjoyed and very stimulating.

Good event, the breaks in between were useful in terms of processing and talking to colleagues about what has been discussed.

I found the session on Inclusive Pedagogies a useful and stimulating approach to considering theory, practice and it’s implications.

very relevant to current issues in schools. Extremely useful.

This has been some of the most stimulating and positive CPD I have received in my 20 years teaching. Very positive vibes.

The session on belonging was incredible and gave me lots of practical ideas to consider for the future

Practice coaching (with observers) in sessions has been very helpful to practice and refine my technique, and allow me to better embed these techniques.

They both gave me new ideas to use in my own teaching.

This has been some of the best CPD I’ve received in the past 20 years. The manageable size of the group, the high degree of ‘buy in’ and the opportunity to ‘do coaching’ during the workshops as well as the multi-part nature of the training have all contributed to this and big kudos to the trainers and the school team that invited them.

AMAZING! Did not want it to end. Will defo pass these ideas on to my school.

Thanks for having me. It was good to see colleagues and meet new ones. I found the session really interesting as well.

Presenter
Seminar on ‘Challenges to recruitment and retention in schools’

I found this session very useful and whilst I consider myself fairly clued up about accessibility, this session was a good reminder of principles and applications.

Given me some proactive ideas to tackle retention

A very worthwhile and stimulating set of workshops

It was really interesting to find out about criticality and apply it to classroom situations.
