Outstanding experience with excellent takeaway examples to support my professional development and leadership practice. Reimagined!
Brilliant! Really enjoyed all aspects and would love more!
I will really spend a bit more time on my learning outcomes. In particular how I cultivate more expert learners.
Contagious
The session has fully transformed the way I think of outcomes – more focus on attitude-based ones!
My brain was like a sponge.
I felt the session was excellent and will now consider ‘difference’ rather than ‘stuff’ when considering learning outcomes.
Created further lightbulb moments for teaching and honing LOs to be smarter.
Thank you. Excellent use of NLP.
I will put more time into thinking about learning outcomes.
It has helped me reflect. I will think more of the learners’ experience and possibilities of improving by thinking more of the difference when writing the outcome.
Excellent, thought-provoking delivery creating interest and useful tools.
My learning journey today was excellent as I learnt a lot of useful things that I will apply to my teaching practice.
Impact of colour.
I will now use the coloured approach to designing my LOs and ensuring that LOs are about end – learner.
I liked the different use of terminology ie understand – use their understanding.
Like putting on a new set of glasses.
It has helped me to change my angle and stop presuming everyone will understand at the end of a lesson!
It has given me the inspiration to challenge my outcome.

My brain feels fizzy with ideas! A great way to start a year!
Can’t wait to model some of this with trainee teachers. Super.
I love that loads of the theories can be applied easily. I am going to try to use a different card every week.
The pre-learning technique, perfect lesson notes, barrier removal strategies.
More strings to my bow
A working machine.
Thanks – brilliant, useful session.
Try looking at each task from different angles. How they can they improved to maximum effect.
Enjoyed this session – found it very valuable.
The learner journey has just become a blank canvas.
We are all one huge tree (the branches). We looked today at the different theorists (roots) and how these feed / join together to feed the branches (lessons, teachers, learners)
Lots of fab ideas: I do, we do, you do, Top Trumps, Taxonomy Teams. Really liked how this was underpinned by a theory. Hugely enjoyable.

An oasis in the desert of FE 🙂
Helped me to understand what we want from the induction process and how to use the Formula for Happiness to do this.
(I need to) redesign the induction process using a ‘zone experience’.
Please come back – we need more of these sessions.
Big ideas to put into action!
(I need to) completely rethink induction – big inter-department project between construction and engineering??
Think big and get them enthusiastic from the first moment.
Thought-provoking session. Hopefully it will be adapted to the whole college.
Poking the bees nest.
Back to the year 2000 when I felt free to experiment.
Stimulating. Inspiring.
Make more structured use of independent learning time, rather than just ‘assignment time’.
Be daring, and focus on the learner.
As a very passionate leader of my subject, I have found I can often ‘take control of the mouse’ – this must stop.
It was like sitting up a fell, looking out to sea, having drunk two cans of dry blackthorn cider.
Whirlwind of ideas.

It is clear as day when it is shown to you.
Can’t have accountability and learning – this has absolutely focused my mind and is so very relevant to my current work.
There’s more ways to skin a cat!
Good Practice database, creative learning team concept.
Really interesting topic and articulated in a great way.
“Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative”
Really informative. Thank you.
Good looking at a new way to observe utilising peers, hopefully will create a more relaxed vibe! Thank you!
