Hello everyone, you can find the link to this week's video here: https://youtu.be/h9f4AsAbDSU

In this video I reiterate the message Catherine Hannon sent you earlier today about planning, feedback, resources and increasing levels of teaching.

You might notice that I'm wearing a t-shirt that says Cohort A-mazing. It was gift from Cohort A in 2010-2011, no favouritism intended! 

I hope you have a great week; we're starting to wind down but your level of teaching is definitely going up!
