"On behalf of the Birmingham Campus, I would like to extend our sincere gratitude for the Training and Development Day you led and delivered. Your pedagogical expertise, enthusiasm and highly-interactive teaching style made the day both impactful and engaging for everyone.
I particularly appreciated the practical approach you took throughout the sessions, not only equipping the teaching team with a wide range of strategies and techniques to enhance their teaching practices but also giving them the opportunity to experience it for themselves.
I have every confidence that our lecturers will become better practitioners, and our students will become more reflective, creative and all-round better learners as a result.
Once again, thank you for your dedication and commitment to fostering professional growth and development among our teaching staff."
