Testimonial

“I have just completed the Smarter Planning for Teacher course and would recommend it. Although I have been teaching for years it is good to discover new and emerging strategies and make my current lesson planning more effective and easier to manage. The course was not too long and I particularly liked the video and worked through samples of making lesson design more effective and less time consuming. Thank you so much”.
