"This course was really insightful and provided me with a range of practical strategies and resources I can use to support my learners going forward. Hayley was knowledgeable, covering all my concerns and questions around teaching those new to English really thoroughly. We discussed strategies at the end of making all staff aware of small strategies they can implement which can make a big difference."
"Thanks so much for all your help and really so thankful for having been able to employ Jane Bryan through Better Bilingual these past few terms. She's fabulous and has been a real inspiration to us and a massive help to the children she has worked with."
"Catherine's approach was kind, inclusive and nurturing. She used creative resources and strategies to connect with the young people and their mother. Catherine also engaged in professional meetings to feed back and advise where appropriate. Positive relationships were formed with children and adults supporting their confidence going forward."
“Thank you for your support this year. I feel a lot more confident about my role and ability to support staff
appropriately.”
"Catherine’s quiet determination and her exceptionally high standards make her an unquestionable choice in supporting strategic development & direct work with learners within an educational setting."
"Thank you - I understand it all so much better now and feel confident to support teachers."
"This course has given great advice on how to practically support EAL children to ensure they make good progress and on how to put processes in place to promote diversity and inclusion within the school. So valuable!"
"An opportunity to reflect and prioritise EAL pupil needs and future strategic directions for our setting as well as revisiting what EDI looks and feels like for the children who attend here... Dedicated, directed time to reflect on EAL/EDI in my setting was invaluable."
"I think this induction programme would be very beneficial to children in our school and I hope it can be implemented throughout. It was very useful to hear from staff from other schools and their experiences."
