Feedback from previous Workshop Participants;

"Excellent pace and presentation. And with high expectations of us as adult learners. The tone was warm and engaging. Such an excellent course and great to network with a range of educators from throughout Aotearoa. Fantastic presenters." - School Leader, LAL Christchurch 2021

"Thank you for putting together such a superb learning experience... [I’d like] to acknowledge the skill and responsiveness with which you facilitated our first two days. I was not looking forward to the time online but the way you structured it with lots of co-construction and time for breaks made it a pleasure. Your personal warmth and enthusiasm for LAL shone through and made the learning safe and engaging. I now have some really clear goals for my facilitation and I’m working on developing my understanding of how I’ll work to meet them. I’m looking forward to the rest of the course and deeply appreciate the time and care you have already put in to this." - Education Consultant, LAL Online 2022

"Thanks for facilitating our learning! I have been able to gain a deeper understanding of my leadership capabilities and am now thinking of my next steps in terms of strengthening these. Many thanks." - School Leader, LAL Online 2022
