I thought the course was excellent and I really enjoyed the activities. For me learning new teaching strategies and the opportunity to share ideas is vital for us to continue to up our offering to the students, keep them engaged and of course develop their thinking skills. Knowing that Mark had experience of teaching a client base with similar and diverse needs was evident in that he could empathise with us and also give ideas of how to tweak the different strategies according to learning needs and difficulties and also subject. I would recommend that the training be rolled out to all staff and can see how some of the strategies would work in practical work based environment or for one to ones.
