"This was one of the best online courses I have been involved in. The content was incredibly relevant and relatable. Glenn used real world examples and gave a number of different strategies for how to approach different situations."

- Alex Dunkley, Kinross Wolaroi School


"This is an excellent PL course that I would definitely recommend to others. It really cut down to practical and easily achievable advice on dealing with tricky and reoccurring behaviours in the classroom. All of the strategies were quickly and easily implemented and didn't require complete readjustment of the classroom"

- Natalie Taylor, Karabar High School


"Glen Pearsall is an outstanding presenter, funny and very entertaining, whilst delivering relevant strategies that work with both primary and secondary students in all schools - both public and private schools"

- Leanne Broadley, Mackillop Catholic College
