0 Comments

Kevin Jefferson, an MLP from the Essex and Sussex region, recently delivered Creative Approaches to Learning to a group of Year 6 pupils at a local school. Confident that the session went well, Kevin was nonetheless surprised a few days later to receive a large brown envelope in the post from the school at which he had delivered CAL.

“I was at first concerned they had returned their brochures and fact sheets,” Kevin comments in his blog about the event, adding, “and perhaps a negative feedback report asking me never to darken their doors again.”

How wrong he was. So impressed was the school with Kevin’s inspirational and dynamic delivery, that the students each wrote colourful and sincere letters, attesting to the positive impact that Kevin had made.

“Today’s assembly really inspired me,” wrote one pupil, who went on to add say: “Thank you so much for teaching me.”         

These were no mere letters of thanks. The students had written them in colourful, bright and eye-catching designs – evidence that the students took their time and spent considerably thought and effort to express their heartfelt gratitude.

“I feel really good about how many facts we learnt,” wrote another pupil, who drew pictures of penguins and cheering crowds to decorate his card.

“You made the activities fun!” gushed one of the pupils, and another added: “I had no idea that we could take in so much in one morning!”

Kevin has kindly posted these amazing nuggets of student testimonials on his blog for all to see and enjoy. It is well worth a visit as the students clearly enjoyed their experience and benefitted greatly from it.

Here is an example of one such piece of feedback. The others can be viewed by clicking on the link below.
