Very interesting and informative. Some of the information has been coming up in previous years but it is always good to have a reminder.

Course was useful but nothing not covered in basic teacher training, bar re-defining cold calling so wide as to be questionably useful and re-naming the zone of proximal development for some reason. The Maximising cognitive development graph is meaningless without data and seems to attempt to replicate a phase-change graph. Bizarre coincidence that all of the data points map to straight lines and neat squares!

I was familiar with many of the ideas/ information presented but there was enough new content to push my understanding on and good practical things to think about how to apply strategies in the classroom.
