"Thank you for bringing Margaret Ross to speak to staff on Tuesday. Her techniques were informing and I am already starting to put some of her strategies in place with my Maths classes. Up until now, classroom management has been astruggle at times, but I continue to liaise with other staff on ways to improve on my methods. I realise that not all schools offer such great PD support for their staff, so I wanted to show my appreciation."
