Most Helpful Reviews

Dragons Teaching

Emma Webb, Academic Director (Founding Head): Dragon's Teaching provides us with flexible solutions and the ability to expand our language programme and provide a wide variety of options for our children.
Lougene, MFL Teacher: It was good for the children to learn something different that isn't usually offered within our curriculum but is spoken by a number of children within our school community.
Justine Nuttall, Head of MFL: We had to ask for a lot of the information we needed to run the sessions. The independent learning sessions weren't quite long enough to cover the half hour the students had to complete them.

Encounter Edu

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
