Assessment & the Art of Lazy Teaching
- Opening a door in my mind to release new ideas
- Assessment can be quick and simple – ultimately it makes lessons more engaging.
- Rethink from the learner point of view and give them more Meerkat Moments.
- Love the card games explanation of assessment and transfer to other lessons.
- Excellent approach to training delegates involved throughout. Wish we had longer.
- Ideas for assessment have blossomed.
- Learning experience was delivered in a fun and engaging way with the different types of games to promote thinking of assessment.
- Really invigorating as a new teacher – now I’m familiar with the content I can start making lessons more fun.
- Feeling re-invigorated / inspired.
- Plan the experience, not the lesson.
- Learners have to know what outstanding looks like.
- Very engaging session – one of the best CPDs ever.
- Loved this. Training 3rd time with you and just as good.
Behaviour Management
- The curtain was pushed back further to see possibilities for development.
- Insightful, useful.

- Thank you Tony, Today has provided me with a chance to reflect on my practice in depth and consider new strategies moving forward to benefit both myself and my learners.
Data Springboard
- I thought the session was excellent and has made me reflect on my practice and develop ideas for the future.

HoT Learning
- Space travel.
- Canoeing to the end of the lake then arriving to a wonderful picnic!
- I will endeavour to introduce curiosity and re-gain some excitement with my lessons.
- Really valuable and enjoyable. You have enthused me and I am looking forward to teaching on Monday!
- You made data much more interesting!
Learning Outcomes for Independent Learning

- Great session, really made me think more about my learning outcomes and how I teach.
- Mind blowing – a lot of information to think about.
- Gone from cloudy to clear.
The Evaluative Conversation – Transformational Lesson Observation
- Refocused my focus on teachers! Do this asap! Really enjoyed!
- It’s like turning something round to get a better view of it. Changing perspective.
- More emphasis on autonomy, collaborative working and reinvigorating lecturers’ purpose with their learners. Infrastructure & mindset change, confidence, cultural. Thank you.
