Our tutor training courses are built around real classroom needs and real teaching challenges. The feedback we’ve received from participating teachers shows the impact of our training. Here are a few voices from the course:
Transformational course. Absolutely indispensable. Empowers me as a language and literacy leader. The course was purposeful and meaningful to all educators. Extremely valuable to my role as vertical lead for English across school.
Teresa Thomas, GEMS New Millenium School (Dubai)
I loved this course, I feel I learnt so much both as a student as a Tutor going forward. I really enjoyed it ad feel it will have a great impact on my teaching. This is going to be so valuable to both me as a person who wants to improve their own teaching practices. I feel my students will also really benefit from the new ideas that I will bring with me. I think the trainer has been one of the best PD trainers that I have experienced in over 20 years of teaching.
Gareth Hall, North London Collegiate School (Singapore)
I think every teacher should be doing this course – it should be rolled out to training teachers. Having a deeper understanding of how language works can benefit everyone. I loved how interactive the course was and that it had a variety of chances to interact with others and the materials on the course. The variety of activities and discussions were great. I felt the content was perfect for my knowledge – it reaffirmed my pedagogy but also challenged my thinking.
Tina Cooper, Guangdong Technion Affiliated International School (China)
This course will be of great value to our teachers and leaders, and will improve the rating of our school substantially if we can get it practiced in all classrooms. The central premised – how we construct meaning through language – is very important.
Sandra Trull, GEMS International School – Al Khail (Dubai)
This is so powerful across subjects and for holding everyone accountable with literacy. Loved this and learned so much! Extremely valuable to whole school, especially now as a tutor who can deliver the sessions. Looking forward to strengthening areas across the school with this focus on language.
Sara Aboussaad, GEMS Cambridge International School (Dubai)
Valuable for implementing literacy into the whole curriculum, not just English. Ideas for targeted intervention groups. Really enjoyed coming together with other likeminded people to explore literacy together. Some really useful takeaways. I can’t wait to use these skills moving forward
Aimee McHugh, GEMS Wellington Academy (Dubai)
I am at awe with the rich lessons taught, the structure, delivery, etc. The modules were very strategically planned, one moving into another.
Caroline DaCosta, GEMS Our Own English High School, Al Ain (Dubai)
Incredibly valuable. Has really given me pause to reflect on and analyse my own practices and how to do things differently. In my context, I can see (I hope!) how this will enhance student learning. Great potential if the school can work towards a whole school approach.
Alice Manning, Pimlico State High School (Queensland, Australia)
