Testimonials

"Very informative and extremely useful overall. Will be able to go back and apply immediately." 

Simon Radford
Fairvale High School

"This is one of the most useful things a teacher can learn. Even if it doesn't happen as a whole school it makes you a much more effective teacher."

Deb Miniutti
Fort Street High School

Yes!!! This is the first teaching based training I have done where I feel I have got valuable and real strategies to walk away with.

Rocky- some additional feedback.  I was totally blown away by today.  I spent an entire PD on Tuesday looking at Behaviour and came away feeling demoralised and ill equipped.  After a few short hours with you this morning I now feel as though I have a toolbox of practical strategies to start with and I am excited and confident about trying them.  So different from how I felt emotionally after Tuesday's course (and let me qualify that with the fact that Tuesday was very polished and pedagogically sound - but mostly theory and lacked concrete examples).

Loved it! Very practical! I feel like I have actual strategies for real behaviour management.
