Some useful information, well presented but not much insightful for an experienced teacher
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!
Alex spoke well and presented the course effectively. My only reservations are about whether this is any different to how we teach already - just named differently.
Content was all valid research based and relevant. However, blanket training for whole groups, some of whose are already doing all the things, was not engaging for some.
Some repeated elements from the last course, including the concept of seductive content.
