Staff thoroughly enjoyed the session, and appreciated the effort you put into preparing and delivering it. We would LOVE to see you again!

A superb PD morning with Ross today on the science of memory. An artful blend of teacher specific research, practical approaches to improving long term memory & just the right amount of silliness for a Friday at the end of November. He held 400 teachers captivated!

Ross provided a decade of CPD in 1/2 day!

In the current climate of uncertainty, through thought-provoking conversations, Ross provides the calm within the storm. He creates a safe platform upon which to question, challenge and create opportunities to enhance teaching and learning.

A regular quote from staff was, "He talked sense, didn't he?"

Ross has redefined our thinking in terms of teaching excellence.  From organisational strategy to classroom tactics, his ‘Mark, Plan, Teach’ methodology has proved to be an superb vehicle for understanding academic theories and practical teaching principles...  His slick and engaging [training], combined with the high quality Teacher Toolkit website, have proved to be a perfect, complementary blend on which to reassess our own culture.

The best INSET rarely does one size fits all but Ross breaks the mould

Rooted in real-life situations and instead of adding to workload, the focus is truly on working more effectively to have a greater impact on the progress of the pupils.

It is a rarity to deliver CPD that can hook even the most ‘experienced’ of teachers, introduce new ideas, create a to-do-list as long as your arm and then show you how to do it all in 5 minutes, but Ross managed to do all of this in just a morning!

"Ross was absolutely amazing – engaging, knowledgeable and approachable! Staff benefitted enormously from rich discussions about the science of learning; they deconstructed how learning happens. Ross’s training was underpinned by sound academic research. It was interactive and relevant to all key stages at Dollis. I would highly recommend him to other head teachers!

Ross worked on high-quality pedagogy, top tips on reducing workload and challenging debate on education’s hot topics. Excellent value…

Yet another amazing webinar! The feedback is always very positive and the sessions are always filled to the brim with interesting ideas for the classroom.

Simple but very effective strategies; I particulary enjoyed the theory to help understand 'the why' behind how to do this ...

 

Our student teachers told me they learnt more with you in 4 hours than in 6 weeks of lectures!

It was fantastic to welcome a former Fleetwood High student back. I am only sorry our students were not here to see what a positive role model you have become

Working with you was a wonderful experience for us all at the school. I have had so many positive comments from staff. So rich in theory, research and practical ideas!

We were truly inspired by Ross!

We had the the privilege to watch Ross give a masterclass in PD. Developing 250 teachers’ knowledge about how memory works; just brilliant!

I was immediately struck by Ross’ no-nonsense, practical advice and superb style of delivery … even my two deputies who been at the school for 30 years and retiring soon, were caught engrossed in his book the next day!

The buzz Ross created was palpable, the confidence we gained as a team was profound; the session – which was thoroughly tailored to the needs of our school – was delivered in a supportive and stimulating manner. It really was a remarkable learning experience which I can’t recommend enough!

Ross has a very powerful way of cutting through the bureaucracy that can and very often does, take teachers under!

Ross has a gift; the ability to synthesize complex ideas into digestible chunks with an affable manner...

Fantastic keynote and workshop delivery. Staff commented that this was some of the best CPD they have ever taken part; smart, concise, practical solutions to everyday classroom scenarios.

Such a lively and interesting, thought-provoking training day – and thank you for volunteering to do so!

Ross emulates empathy and understanding of the pressures teachers are under. His toolkit is invaluable and each member of staff left the training session with practical takeaways which can be easily implemented.

Rooted in real-life situations and instead of adding to workload, the focus is truly on working more effectively to have a greater impact on the progress of the pupils.
