How will you use what you have learned today?
Assessing pupil capabilities in my day-to-day teaching.
As a CPD activity observe a FVA in order to do one myself. Also
re-look at young people's eye conditions and see if any info today
could help improve their experiences.
A principal teacher in my school has carried out all visual assessments
until recently, so I'll use what I have learnt today for assessments
which I'll be carrying out from now on.
Many ways, but certainly my approach to FVA.
I will be able to use lots of info in my daily work.
Use linked bibliography info to further extend knowledge and help digest
and assimilate information.
Have to carry out functional assessments at the end of term.
In discussion with our SfL department to enhance L+T in reference to
a pupil with Stargardt’s and any future VI pupils.
I carry out visual function assessments so today was very pertinent.
To maintain good practice.
More confident when using assessment materials.
Very helpful, good all round knowledge of how the eye works and how to
assess pupils.

What was best about the course/event?
Lots of expertise.
Listening to other professionals and their expertise and sharing knowledge.
All aspects of Gordon Dutton and Lesley Reid's presentations were
excellent to get into some nitty gritty areas of assessment.
All aspects were useful.
Expertise and passion of presenters and way in which they all made information
more accessible and user-friendly. A great day - very motivating.
Clear speakers - very informative and precise without being overwhelming
or too technical.
Morning talk by Gordon Dutton - very informative.
Excellent from a theoretical point of view (morning). Balanced
by good practical advice (afternoon).
Enjoyed Gordon Dutton's input. Good to be able to see different
forms of assessment - will give me confidence to use them.
Both speakers were very informative.
The different speakers, visual aid and knowledge given by each speaker.
What, if anything, could have been improved about the course?
Some continuity of level - morning seemed to be for more experienced
and afternoon for beginners.
No complaints and no improvements necessary, except it would have been
preferable to start on time!
Written material from Gordon Dutton to help slow down quick pace.
Water available during presentations?
Shorter lunch break.
Handouts from Gordon Dutton.
Any other comments regarding the course?
I found it beneficial and very enjoyable. Thank you.
Enjoyed all of it.
Far too rushed.
I thought the course was very good - very interesting and informative
for a complete newcomer to VI.
Very enjoyable.
