Both the morning and afternoon workshops were full of eager "soon to be" teaching professionals as well as experienced teachers currently working as relief teachers who were looking to gain more insights in to the unique world of relief teaching. The workshop contained many interactive strategies designed to demonstrate the teaching ideas that appeal to all styles of learning. It is always my pleasure to lead these workshops in the knowledge that I am supporting fellow teachers as well as the many students in their care.
Feedback allows me to continue to refine and craft the "Relief Insight" workshops to be both relevant and purposeful for the special teachers who attend. If you are not able to attend in person, know the workshop book forms the backbone of the day. Purchasing the book via the blog site gives you access to many of the strategies and insights that I bring to life on the day of the workshop. I have tried to write in a conversational style and many people say it is just as if I am having a chat with them! So long as the resource is user- friendly I am pleased. I love hearing the success stories and the many ways people then use the "Relief Insight" strategies.
