Comments from Previous Summer Course Participants:

"Easily the best summer course I have ever completed. So practical, jammed full of realistic and doable ideas. Michelle is very engaging. Thoroughly enjoyed."

"This was an excellent course. It has provided me with so many ideas to take back to my classroom. It has provided me with lots of ways to integrate literacy, science and visual arts. It is probably one of the best courses I have done in a long time. So practical and useful."

"A brilliant, practical and engaging course. I have taken away lots of ideas that I look forward to using in the coming year. Thanks to Mairead for her enthusiasm and inspiration."
