Classroom Secrets

Sara, Teacher: It has good things to use to support lessons
Sarah Harrison, Reception class teacher: Right now I only use one section Phonics Factory which is good, but I know there is more for me to discover. Once I have done this and use it on a wider basis I think my score may be higher.
Jessen, Maths Leader: Too many worksheets

J Williams, National Education Coordinator: Its an exceptional resources to seed ideas. however since the Pan-Canadian expectations vary from the original source documents some triage of the content is required. This takes time. The one thing teachers claim not to have a surplus of. The score of 9 accounts for this 'slight' inconvenience.
Laura Rodwell, Eco council leader and Ta: I think this is an important part of children learning and the video and live lessons are amazing.
Shawna, Professional Development Specialist: I've already shared it with my colleagues
