What are people saying about their Pfb seminar?
From the written evaluation
from a recent seminar:
"By completing this seminar, how has
your teaching improved?"
I
was inspired to get my classup and moving more
I got a lot of
ideas for visual aids, I am more excited, more confident
Less talking and more hands-on.More confidence that I can do this
No more boring lectures
More
ways for interaction
Having another way at look at things
I
feel I now have a dose of contagious enthusiasm to pass on to my students.My classes will be much
more interactive, fun and memorable
So many new ideas to get the point across
More creative, more interactive
Gave me a great base to develop my plan
Immensely! Total change in my scope of teaching and practice
