What teachers say:

I have lots of new ideas to help my students engage creatively with texts, as well as improving accessibility of texts.

– Teacher, Primary CPD 2023

So clear, so helpful, immediately actionable.

– Teacher, Drama Teacher Conference 2023

A good balance of giving information and hands on practice. Very informative and great suggestions for taking back to the classroom and using with students.
