I am a Senior Professional Development Leader for STEM and the NCCE. Here are some recent testimonials:
“On behalf of the Good Shepherd Trust schools and other invited schools, can I say a huge thank you to Phil Wickins who ran the primary Algorithms and Programming course today at our central office. It is rare to have a trainer with deep technical knowledge, combined with immediately usable and pragmatic pedagogical skill. His style of deliver was really engaging and catered for all levels. All the teachers (some very experienced, others far less so) went away with new strategies, rationale and skills. We look forward to welcoming Phil again!”
“Just wanted to give some feedback regarding today’s programming and algorithm CPD. Very very useful!! As I am a new teacher my knowledge and confidence is limited so this training has definitely helped. Phil was extremely clear and calm in his delivery which made me feel more inclined to participate and ask/answer questions. The session overviewed some really key concepts and broke it down well”
“Just wanted to say thank you Phil. That was an absolutely brilliant course. You gave loads of advice, tips and ways of getting across to the children. The course content was all relevant and despite thinking I was quite knowledgeable before have come away with even more knowledge. The pace was set perfectly to the people on the course and you would answer questions and explain in a different way if something was not understood. Massive thank you again for this I know have lots to go and feedback to my school!”
