Dear Jean
"Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou- that was so generous of you! I have just printed the template off and came across the graphic thinker-OPV. It is just perfect for what I have been trying to teach my stage 1 students. On the weekend, I couldn’t think how to arrange it and then yours turns up! You have saved me so much time (and thinking). "
Cheers

"Jean, the staff found your presentation enlightening. It had a good balance of you sharing information/knowledge and them actively involved in doing some of this themselves gently guided by you. Jean you have creditability-- what you say has more often than not already been tried out by yourself; you share the successes and the pitfalls. Your ideas are practical....awesome and appreciated." Grant Watson, Principal, Upper Moutere School, NZ
