Some comments from the day:
– Really very helpful. Inspiring vision with practical tips. Suited to Christian schools and Christians in schools, but also for anyone responsible for any kind of education: parents, managers, pastors, preachers.
– Great! I will definitely use this [Discipline Cycle] in dealing with my students, other people’s students and staff on my team.
– Thank you for today. I found it really interesting. A lot to reflect on and some useful tips to put into practice. I particularly found the session on Wisdom in Behaviour Management useful.
– I found the day encouraging and thought-provoking. I found the Cycle of Discipline very helpful as a model. The ideas around the curriculum are not directly relevant to me, but give me food for thought which I think I can apply in other situations.
It was nice to hear examples about individual pupils and situations. There has been a lot to take away from the day. - Early Years Seminar: Laying the Right Foundation | July 2013 | London
