Praise from past students about The Centre....
| “I felt that the course was very well organized, offered a broad area of modules and was extremely well taught.” | |
| “The work for my BA was staggered, which suited my needs at the time. It enabled me to select modules which I could run alongside my teaching commitment and home life.” | |
| “The ITC and Raising Achievement were entirely relevant and useful to my role in the classroom. They allowed me to update my knowledge and to have confidence to try new |
|
| “My tutor was never-endingly helpful and supportive. I started the course with much trepidation but finished on a high!” | |
| “It is very difficult to write in such a small space exactly what being a student at SAPU meant to me. I really enjoyed every minute of the learning experience and it was probably the sharpest learning curve that I have experienced in my life. Being with a group of likeminded people was indeed a joy. The group that I was part of gelled very quickly and it was truly a supportive network which survives amongst a few of us still today.” | |
“One of the main attractions of studying at SAPU was the flexibility of the courses as I was not working as a class or school teacher at that time but in an FE/HE college with 16-18 year olds and mature students on the 1st year of a degree.” |
|
| “As an administrator rather than a teacher working in a school, I was still able to choose a module and do my final dissertation on topics relevant to my work in school.” | |
| “It gave me confidence in my own ability.” | |
| “I have updated my knowledge which has improved my teaching. Having the MA helped me through my threshold application, hence more money!” | |
| “The MA project came at the right time for me: I threw myself into the work wholeheartedly, and found the experience stimulating, challenging and extremely enjoyable. My research was on a topic of great personal interest to me; I understand my own career better as a result of doing it.” | |
| “I found I could write essays!” | |
| “The research aspects of course enabled a direct impact on my school’s improvement. It has led to staff in the school pursuing action research and this continues.” | |
| “I felt much more confident and effective as a Headteacher – school has flourished over recent years.” | |
| “I was impressed by the support and encouragement I received both at tutorial sessions and through e-mail.” | |
| “The ambiance of Belstead House is brilliant – the easy chairs, beautiful gardens and coffee & biscuits make a huge difference at the end of a hard day at work.” |
