Feedback from
providers
Shirley has been known to me in a professional capacity for three
years, initially by her reputation for delivering training to teaching
assistants, school support staff and parents within the London Borough
of Enfield’s school. She is held in high regard by fellow
professionals and Headteachers for the quality of the training she
has provided.
Over the past year I have worked directly with her as she has contributed
to a range of courses for school support staff which are held centrally
and adhere to national occupational standards as well as the tailored
training which she has carried out in individual schools.
Shirley possesses all the qualities of an excellent trainer.
- She has sensitivity to the needs of adult learners.
- She is confident to advise on training and development maters to
senior leadership teams and Headteachers.
- She is an expert within her chosen fields who regularly updates
and expands her own knowledge and understanding.
- Her sessions are carefully planned, appropriately resources and
enthusiastically delivered.
- She has the experience of delivering training in a wide range of
settings.
- She has outstanding inter-personal skills which coupled with her
wide ranging experience enable her to deal appropriately with any
challenges which may arise.
- She has a genuine passion to promote the self-esteem and attainment
of her trainees.
As an experienced consultant Shirley has proved herself as a first
rate “partner-provider”. She is extremely self reliant
but also keeps other key personnel well appraised. Her enthusiasm
for her work is infectious and she is an asset to any training and
development programme in which she is involved.
I recommend her to you without reservation.

Shirley has worked for Camden's Training and Media Service for several
years. During that time she has designed and run training for
a range of support staff including teaching assistants, midday supervisors,
as well as for teachers. She has delivered a variety of programmes
to support staff development, particularly around managing behaviour
and developing relationships.
She is an excellent trainer/tutor with a high level of interpersonal
skills used to good effect with candidates and colleagues alike. Shirley
has consistently high quality evaluations from all her sessions. She
is well-prepared and completely reliable. I can thoroughly recommend
her.
