What people are saying
Modelling pedagogy was powerful
Can you please pass on to Fiona how much I appreciated her contribution yesterday to C4iE. I could see that she had more up her sleeve, but she managed our group with grace and wisdom. Modelling pedagogy was powerful, and also challenging. It reminded me of things I know to be important but that can too often slip off the priority list.
Possesses valuable insight
I was mentored in dealing with communication and developing a focussed plan of action. The mentoring was highly supportive Professional and highly effective resulting in positive outcomes. I would highly recommend mentoring from Cyclic Konnectionz especially with the tailored support that was arranged. Fiona is very professional and possesses valuable insight into various issues within education and community perspectives. Much appreciated.
You created a safe and secure environment where all students were valued and treated equally
I feel very privileged to be able to witness and participate in your session with the year 4 students on Friday. It couldn’t have come at a better time for my students who have trouble opening up and sharing how they are feeling in a controlled, calm way. You created a safe and secure environment where all students were valued and treated equally. I believe the students really benefited from the talking, sharing and activities you did with them. Fi, you are amazing at what you do and I have nothing but positive feedback about your session. Just in conversation with the students after, I believe that even the more troubled students who chose to act out in the session, were influenced positively.
Thank you so much again for your time and amazing skills in the classroom Friday
