What was best about the course/event?
Very clear and informative.
Rache's presentation, relevant and useful information. (2)
Variety of speakers - good quality speakers. Examples of good practice.
Rache's presentation was very informative - will definitely use
this information with pupils.
Presentation from Donaldson's very good.
Information about more help available for deaf students at college. Excellent
presentation from Rachel O'Neill.
Mix of speakers and contents of presentations.
I liked different aspects of all parts of the course.
Hearing what is happening in other regions.
Every speaker gave interesting and valuable information.
The whole day was full of relevant information. Well
presented.
Presentation from audiologist was very informative.
Found the input from Marion Reid of great interest. Learnt a lot
from the input on FE/HE Funding. The information about Donaldson's
Project was great. Always good to network too.
Good info and range of info - Education and Audiology. Excellent
networking opportunity.
Variety of speakers. Although some of the sessions were a bit long
- just needs the format broken up a wee bit. Maybe max length of
session, 1 hour.
Finding out about what other areas of Scotland are doing and involved
in - networking too!
What, if anything, could have been improved about the course?
First presentation rather long.
Presentation by Marion Reid was a challenge, too long and entirely read
off PowerPoint, pace very slow.
Possibly some more interaction and less 'death by PowerPoint'.
Would like to see examples of pictorial planning in practice in Fife.
I would have preferred at some point to hear about what other authorities
did practically to support children through transition. It was
too late and too tiring to do it at the end of the day. It would
also have been useful to see copies of the pictorial planning done in
Fife.
Nothing - it has all been good.
Handouts from Rachel O'Neill and Audiology. More time to
discuss where participants are in their own practice and talk about what
they are doing.
Would be good to have a session to discuss what has been included by
the speakers in relation to participants' experiences in their
own areas (although there was some informal opportunity to do this over
lunch).
Further breaks - sitting too long!
Any other comments regarding the course?
Enjoyed the day but wonder if what was talked about happens in reality
or if it is 'hit and miss' and depends on where you stay.
Concerns about losing Educational Audiologist and the links they have
in helping with transition processes.
Thank you.
Really useful information - much to think about and use with my pupils.
More time for discussion groups and less being talked at Perhaps
an intro at start for participants to say who they are and why they are
attending the training.
Opportunity for
discussion with other participants. [Lunch break] was a good length of
time (about 45 mins after a wee overrun in the morning session).
No - really enjoyed it.
