Guest Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Yep I went! After someone had recommended a link to his site on here earlier this year when I put an SOS out due to having a year off on maternity leave. Alistair is inspirational and I can honestly say that it was the best course I have ever been on in my entire teaching career. He made every moment of the day count and gave me loads to think and challenge my current practice (and the staff). He talks like he writes his blog - I was literally crying with laughter at times as he described some of the staff characters that many can relate to. that hinder good practice. Most importantly he answered so many questions in my head that I had about why my practice - and how I can move forwards. I would recommend his course over ANYTHING else, plead indeed BEG your SLTs to go - you won't be disappointed (as much as I love Helen Bromley she comes in second I'm afraid!) That man needs a gold medal! http://abcdoes.typepad.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
