Times Educational Supplement
“Unanimous acclaim from his audience!”

Examples of feedback from Individual  teachers and schools

“I attended one of Geoff’s courses in Bristol many years ago and as one of my lessons today was judged as outstanding, I am doing what I always promised to do – write and thank him. I have been teaching for 21 years and have attended much training of varying quality during that time. Geoff’s course is the one I would pinpoint as having the most impact on my practice and I find myself returning to his advice time and again. I have also run INSET training at school using Geoff’s materials and again many teachers site it as having changed their practice fundamentally. The course and training materials are full of things that actually work and become so embedded in your practice that it’s hard to remember what you did before or even realise the fundamental impact its had many years later in improving your practice. Many of the things I have developed as a classroom teacher have their roots in Geoff’s training. So, I just wanted to pass on my thanks!”

“You exceeded my already high expectations.” Headteacher, St James’ Primary School, Sandwell

“Thank you for an excellent training session.  I’m sure you receive consistent feedback with the same message…the staff enjoyed your session, with many comments like ‘best INSET ever’!”   Headteacher, Oldfield Secondary School Bath

“I very much enjoyed your sessions on Friday and there was a real buzz at lunchtime with everyone talking about them – a real impact. On a personal level, having worked with you when you visited William Brookes (many years ago now…), I have found the ‘three stages of communication’ a fantastic approach to behaviour management, as well as lesson planning and delivery and have used the ‘go for five’ more times than I can count – always well received by learners…” Vice Principal, Shrewsbury College of Art and Technology

“Thank you once again for your excellent presentations at Dollar Academy.  From our point of view, it proved to be a very successful day – in fact, one of our Heads of Department burst into the Deputy Head’s office the next morning insisting that the person who booked you be congratulated.  I trust that my Deputy gave me all the credit!” Rector, Dollar Academy Scotland

“The feedback has been excellent and a great number of staff have been talking about how inspirational (and immensely useful) it was.”  Adam Williams, Principal, Glasgow Academy
