Feedback from the Malvern Mantle of the Expert Conference
The following evaluations came from teachers, school leaders and educators attending the June 19th, 2009 conference in Malvern, Worcestershire.
Inspired – I now have a greater understanding. Thanks
Wow! So very exciting, so very challenging, I can’t wait!
A really inspiring day. Good to hear different ideas and ways of delivering MoE. Well done Richard
Informative, instructive, ideal situation, imaginative inputs.
So much food for thought…I am going to consider how to include MoE into our English modules on BA QTS & QTS primary courses
An exciting and inspirational approach to teaching and learning. One that I certainly would like to become involved in. Thank you for a great day
Thank goodness children will be able to recognise the word imagination without looking it up in a dictionary
Quality meaningful learning and with children taking responsibility – sounds good
More developed understanding of how MoE works and the powerful positive effects it can have on learning
Thank you for an excellent day. Very interesting and informative – answered lots of my questions especially in Tim Taylor’s session
Thank you for making the day so practical so we could experience mantle. (From someone who had not seen it before)
A way of meeting the needs of the child. That they are the centre
Good to see and hear people prepared to take risks. Would now like to see Mantle in action and talk through practical processes
Very interesting talks. Tim’s session was helpful. Also session D (DH)was helpful being able to take part.
A challenge – but a possible challenge! Thanks
Good – thankyou. Needed less role play and more on the teacher to teacher information
I am fired up ! Excellent day – a real picture of a way forward that has been consolidated by real teachers and long standing trainers successfully offsteded.
Tracking processes across the school for skills/processes and content
It was a really useful day. Thank you. An enormous treat to meet Dorothy who has been my hero for many years
I feel it was really beneficial to the MoE in action when role played in workshop B (HH/SB). Lots of my questions were answered by experienced practitioners. Looking forward to getting started
I was really pleased to experience chamber drama as a method to use. I feel this will be very good to use with Special Needs children in my school. I am looking forward to changing the curriculum
My head is buzzing! Found workshops E (Luke) and B (two staff from Grimley and Holt) very interesting and inspiring. Now need to share this back at achool with staff and get started.
FAB! like to see other speakers that I missed out on today and one hour workshops not long enough. Huge thanks. Wonderful grub.
Ideas for ways in from Luke. The difference between enquiring and Mantle from Dorothy
A very inspiring day- looking forward to using MoE
The workshops were particularly helpful in filling the gaps in understanding MoE
Inspiring and informative which supports my knowledge
I really valued the session with Tim Taylor who gave excellent advice on how to get started. I really need to give it a go with my class
Re-ignited enthusiasm- Thankyou
Thankyou – lots of “food for thought” – a good starting point
Clarity came to the fore as the day unfolded – excellent way forward – thankyou
Totally inspired to have a go
Looking forward to trying it in school
I have a clearer understanding of how to teach the importance of viewpoint
Great to see a method of planning through steps. We were given a very clear description of how to follow these steps
Thoroughly enjoyed this creative day. It has given me a great deal to think about and has helped give me ideas for a way forward. Tim Taylor’s workshop was very practical and helpful – thankyou
Thanks Richard for organising such an informative day. I have been able to clarify what MoE looks like in school and can now take it back to share the super ideas with my staff at school
One of the ways to make learning memorable, vibrant and exciting! Thankyou for a thought provoking day!
An enlightening day with a great deal of food for thought
Thanks for organising the event and leading a much needed focus on learning and curriculum amongst all the other stuff
Giving children a voice, giving them creative and expressive opportunities to ask questions and find solutions can only be good. Thank you for an interesting day
Thank-you for a superb day. I am feeling inspired and looking forward to learning more about this pedagogy
Excellent workshop from Tim Taylor – thankyou
Tim Taylor gave an excellent informative workshop. Just made sense – exactly what I needed! Thankyou
Really enjoyable day but felt that the Holt and Grimley version of Mantle of the Expert and Dorothy Heathcote’s version were at odds to each other. I now feel confused. Hopefully this will be helped by a trip to your school. Thankyou
Inspiring day. Thankyou for putting the conference together. It has been very worthwhile coming as a whole staff
Really interesting day. Very enlightening – certainly feel I am beginning to ‘get it’.
