I particularly enjoyed the online format because it actually gave me the space and time to reflect and plan and implement much of what I was learning. My young authors’ excitement and the work they are producing is incredible. The joy in my classroom from teachers and students is palpable.

Our entire cohort of ELC teachers and TA’s took the course together and we found that the discussions that we had were so rich, authentic and motivating. It has really helped us to move our literacy program forward as a team.

The resources, the videos and zoom calls were very professional, well thought-out and structured. Jo was fabulous with her feedback on our activities throughout the week and her immense understanding of early years education really shone through.

I just personally wanted to thank you for an amazing workshop. This is truly the best PD session I have ever had. I have an eight page summary and can’t wait to start making changes in my class. You have inspired me.

Dr Jo was very accommodating, she was more than happy to adapt the training content to our needs of working with EAL children in the United Arab Emirates.
We have already started to implement some of the strategies.

This is a great course. I love it!  Doing this weekly for four weeks, with one module at a time, I find there’s great flexibility.  It’s been a really good opportunity to reflect on my teaching. I go back to my photographs and planning and it’s encouraging to know I’m on the right track. It’s good to hear the ideas of others, as well as from Jo. I like to learn from everyone.

I have started incorporating and implementing some of Dr Jo’s ideas in my classroom, one of which is ‘Author’s Chair’. I’m really excited and looking forward to seeing its impact on my students.

Jo helped me reflect upon my work and take new resources and new experiences to the classroom. I am hoping to make more changes and to be with her in another course.
