"This course helped me with positive behaviour management strategies and reminded me to keep encouraging students and, most importantly, remembering why I started teaching in the first place."

I have new strategies to use with my more difficult classes.

Really relevant conversations about situations I am currently dealing with. Discussed useful strategies I can use in lessons. Thank You!

A really great conference…I learned a lot!  Mark was great, passionate and interesting.

Mark is very good at making our students feel secure and focused - we are very lucky to have his expertise!

Evaluations on the training delivered by Mark are always very positive with participants readily connecting with his positive and engaging style and recognising the quality of the resources he shares and the practical classroom relevance of the training.

Outstanding INSET today by Mark. I highly recommend him.

I cannot thank you enough, Mark...amazing support during and beyond the time you worked with K. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your wonderful support for our son. He has changed his life so much for the better and most of that was down to you...

Good practical advice, Mark answered all the questions asked…every question made to feel important and relevant.

"This training has given me the chance to reflect on my practice and given me insights into how to proceed with challenges. I really enjoyed the session, thank you!"

Mark is very professional in his delivery - he brings a wealth of practical experience and current research to his events to ensure that all participants experience new learning and a deeper understanding.

Mark is a great guy, a genuine champion for kids who need a second chance...a considered and reflective professional...we are very excited to work closely with him.

At the Uttoxeter Learning Trust we have regularly used Mark’s expertise and passion to deliver training. He has delivered sessions on Behaviour to new and experienced staff as well as delivering our annual NQT conference to new staff from across our Teaching School Alliance.

"I thoroughly enjoyed the session – very informative! I have taken away new strategies to implement with different classes – particularly feedback."

I have seen the impact Mark has made through his scheme, for our school and importantly for the young people he works with - all the participants and their parents comment positively on the changes he has helped them to make.

The NQT's really loved the conference day and felt that it was really productive. They were really inspired when they came back and I think that Mark really helped them in terms of giving them concrete ideas and things to try. There was a positive response from all of the NQT's. As you can imagine, sending 6 staff out was logistically challenging for us, but having this great feedback made it all worth while.

A good presenter...very useful and enjoyable session...a good foundation to underpin my behaviour strategy...some good reminders but plenty of new thinking.

A very useful session. I have revisited my behaviour expectations with all my classes and see the importance of relationships. Praise and calls home, as suggested by mark, have had a big impact on some of the boys....I am trialling the Cookie Jar at home with my own 10 and 12 year old!

"Thank you! I can use information from the course to build better relationships with pupils and have better behaviour management."

Mark has run his coaching turn-around programme with some of our most disengaged boys - sometimes one-to-one but also with groups from Key Stage 3 and 4. Mark is able to connect with these students and build a relationship that allows the students to take more responsibility for their education and start to build a better relationship with school.

Mark says in his profile  'student second chances a speciality'...we need everyone in education to be like Mark - this very good man deserves more followers!

"I now have some insight into some different strategies I can use in the classroom about how to be more productive. Excellent session – highly relevant as an NQT!"

"Mark’s training was just what we needed... his delivery was engaging, professional and positive and the content of his training provided just the right balance of theory and practical application that will allow us to start with a clear foundation for our approach to behaviour."
