Bill Rogers

Thankyou. Your realistic view has inspired me. I can’t wait to share what I have learnt with my fellow teachers.

Great to hear someone talk so passionately about his work and naturally and easily about the topic. So easy to listen to and learn.

Awesome presentation – everytime I come to a Bill Rogers presentation (3rd one now) I learn more. Keep up the great work.

Greg Mitchell

What an inspirational day! I hope that I can do justice to the new found knowledge I have acquired. I believe that the Executives of schools should also all attend this course for staff management.

This was a fantastic seminar and I have come away with many things I want to try in my classroom and in my life generally. This is the best professional development course I have ever been to. Thankyou!

Excellent – kept us motivated and interested the whole day. The BEST seminar I have ever been to and I’ve been teaching for 13 years. Thank you for making a difference.

Tony Stead

Great presenter! Informative, and terrific that his presentation was based on real teaching. Very relevant. Probably the most valuable/helpful seminar I’ve ever attended. Wish all my school could come!

Thank you – you have provided an extra spark and given me useful, practical strategies which I can incorporate into my teaching. My reading sessions had become stale and I felt I was skimming over things. You have shown me how I can get the children to go deeper!

This has been an excellent seminar – interesting, informative, practical, entertaining! I have learned many useful strategies that are straightforward and will really make a difference to my teaching.

Tony Ryan

Excellent presentation, relevant content, easy to listen to, very motivating and enjoyable. Great day – thankyou!

Thought provoking; a lot of strategies that can be employed in classroom situations.

Kath Murdoch

Kath Murdoch is wonderful. Most probably the best presenter I have been privileged enough to learn from. I can adapt nearly all of the strategies you showed us to my class.

Excellent presentation – thank you Kath! You kept us involved and highly interested. We have so many thinking skills and strategies to take back to our classrooms and colleagues. We’ll start on exploring these further tomorrow! I have learnt so much.

Another fantastic session Kath! You are an amazing facilitator – supportive of where we are at AND giving us a ‘stretch’. Thanks!

Christine Richmond

You are truly an inspiration! Some wonderful ideas on ways to arrange students more effectively. Your energy and enthusiasm is contagious!

You are absolutely fantastic! Made the day interesting and entertaining as well as giving me some practical information and tips to take away and use. I wish the day was longer so you could have passed on even more of your knowledge!!

This has been a most wonderful, memorable day. Christine has really inspired me and it has been the best presentations I have ever attended, to the point where stopping for lunch was disappointing though I understand Christine needed a break/nourishment!

Ian Lillico

Inspiring, entertaining, informative, interesting. Really relevant - Australian, contextually based, detail. Fantastic - thanks!

Thank you for an extremely informative seminar. I am taking away with me numerous strategies to implement when I go back to school - I can't wait to use them. Thanks!

David Hornsby

David, I’ve been to a number of your seminars and each time you inspire me to reflect on my own teaching. I come away feeling good about my teaching practices and eager  to implement your strategies in my classroom. You give us ideas and ways to improve our teaching. Thank you for an excellent seminar.

David is an awesome and inspiring presenter. He has made complete sense to me and has made me rethink my program. I value the time I have spent today as some of the most valuable pd I have attended. Thank you!

John Joseph [New Presenter]

We are very excited to welcome John to the Scholastic Seminars Team in 2008.

Excellent – I particularly liked the way Michael continually referred back to real life classroom practice.

An enlightening seminar given by a delightfully knowledgeable presenter. I enjoyed the hands-on activities! I loved the question matrix!

Loved Michael’s sense of humour! The seminar was jam packed with information and ideas! Inspiring – can’t wait to try them at school.
