What educators are saying about Needs-Focused^TM courses:

Hi Rob,

I recently attended your 1-day workshop on behaviour management in Sheffield for Teach First participants and would like to thank you for an amazing session (the best I attended at the institute - including the workshops offered at the national institute in Canterbury) and I have suggested to the organisers that you run a session at the national institute next year.

I particularly enjoyed:

- The practical hints and tips, which were cleverly delivered to the unsuspecting audience!  This really helped me understand and see how the strategies work in practice (I was a cap-wearing sssshhhher by the way!) e.g. bingo where everyone is a winner, ideas for group activities, tips for defusing situations, advice for use of consequences etc.

- The discussions around cooperative learning.

- The overall enthusiasm and professionalism with which the workshop was delivered.

My only criticism was that the workshop was too short (1-day)!  I would have happily spent 2-3 days learning in more depth how to deliver behaviour management strategies effectively.

Kind regards,

Michael Walker (Trainee Maths Teacher, Dearne High, Sheffield)
