Recent comments on CSP training (November 2007 - January 2008):

	“This has been undoubtedly the best and most worthwhile time I've ever spent out of school. I feel I can use many of the tools with the staff I have responsibility for. It's been refreshing to hear the views and opinions of others. Thanks to the team for being so approachable and informative.” “Brilliant course. It has the power to totally flip round our thinking. The focus is on learning and the learner, and though it is rooted in sound science and theory, its feet are firmly on the ground. A fantastic box of delights - I wish I'd opened it at the start of my career - life would have been so much more fun - and a better educational experience for my pupils (I feel like calling them back and apologising to them - "sorry - I didn't realise ... I didn't know"). Excellent presenters - encouraging, inspiring. I wish I had you as mentors with me all the time. ” “What a fabulous three days. I certainly felt this was CPD at its best. You were a most complementary mix of tutors/trainers and made every aspect of the course very explicit, enjoyable and will certainly inform my practice. "I'll be back!"” “Excellent course, expertly delivered. Lots to take away, reflect upon and implement. Inspired, motivated and empowered to raise my game and support others to join me. ” “I have had a wonderful 3 days - met new people and felt valued. I am also energised and am looking forward to approaching my next learning context in a new way - a challenge for me and my wee people!” “Valuable - exciting, innovative, Curriculum for Excellence (made easy!!) The programme is empowering for teachers and managers. Individuals need to experience the 'power' of the training. What else could we wish for our young people to prepare them for lifelong learning?”
