I just want to thank you for lifting me back to a state of “I love my job.” Thank you for a couple of fantastic hours in Århus today. I have been a little “tired” lately but now I am back on track :o)

If you want an inquisitive and enthusiastic learning environment in the classroom and if you want to enhance your students' self-esteem, then you should read Encouraging Learning. It gives you practical tips on how you can get just that by focusing on concepts such as self-esteem, feedback and reflection.

We were so impressed at how well you “translated” all the important points from your own and Hattie’s books into the pre-school context – and that your examples were spot on.

The course was inspiring and informative, focusing on better teacher-student relations through dialogue and teacher-teacher feedback through action learning

I want to go and put all my new skills into practice. This has been extremely helpful and useful in my role and I have learnt so much.

The facilitator (Martin Renton) was amazing and the courses were intense, challenging and draining but provide invaluable strategies that become second nature when used on a daily basis.
Lecturer
Northern Ireland -
So why has Martin Renton been the perfect lecturer for us? He uses many practical activities which give the teachers ideas for the classroom. He also focuses on the idea of progress as a well as outcome, how progress demonstrates learning and how teachers can support each other in the classroom, and discuss professional learning.

Put simply, the Teaching Thinking module was the best staff development I have ever had in 17 years of teaching. Very motivating and very useful

"There is more sharing of good practice taking place … which has started to break down the 'closed door' syndrome that surrounded the classroom. It has enabled the college to introduce peer observation. The CLP Process has increased the enthusiasm of staff to look at their classroom practices; they are more open about asking for help; have become more reflective in their practice and have 'demanded' more."

“Challenging Learning’s work at our school is leading to the most significant and ongoing positive change that I have witnessed in my 30 years in education. As part of this on-going development, we held a parent information night that is still talked about two years later. We all now have a different perspective on learning and the vital role we can play in developing successful learners.”
George Telford, Principal
Australia -
The presentations were really engaging, challenging and positive. We were shown the value of personalised learning, questioning and feedback - all backed up with pertinent, applicable activities & resources. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will use it to develop my teaching.
Henrik Pedersen, College Lecturer

Thanks for the many wise words - and a liberating way to describe everyday life in pre-school and the many opportunities that lie ahead to create more learning.
