Participant Feedback


"The course is well written and designed. It explains, or rather reminds us of what should not be done and highlights how it should be done, which we usually forget to practice."



"Overall, the course was highly relevant and supportive. It recognised the real challenges teachers face and offered realistic, achievable solutions. I feel more confident about making small adjustments to protect my time and energy."



"The course was informative and provided a variety of tips to implement in everyday routines. "
