Testimonials from Teachers

"Thank you so much Simon for sharing your knowledge and expertise with our students. There has been continuous positive feedback for the rest of the week and a real excited energy to put their new knowledge into practice. You’ve also inspired me to look at the module in more detail for next next year and consider how we can further enhance and encourage our students voices at Leeds Trinity University to ensure they are the teachers they aspire to me - the change makers for the children! Look forward to working with you again."
