A lot of content covered but in an accessible way, I felt, for all present.

Not the trainers fault...an hour is to little time to look at this topic. A link to send would have been good

very engaging whistle stop tour of evidence informed practice. I would love to see some more emphasis on the specific research - highlighting the studies and researchers.

It was genuinely one of the best presented INSEDs from an outside provider I have had since I joined the school in 2010. Three hour-long presentations and I didn't look at my watch once! I liked the interactive nature of it and how it got us to think. The presenters used humour and didn't talk down to us. Bear in mind I have had numerous presentations and INSEDs on retrieval practice, metacognition and cognitive load theory in my life it was good to still enjoy them even though I didn't learn much new (but that isn't your fault).

Useful to review some quite familiar ideas and have the research behind them explained and good practice reinforced.
