19.  Felt confident with everything she said, trusted in her experience. She gave long, detailed answers that we could take a lot from. Particularly useful to be able to discuss the DVD; she gave her honest view and allowed us to do the same.  It was really interesting to speak to a teacher who is not from School Experience school; she was here purely to inform us and talk to us. More please!  Very relevant to the course and allowed us to see how to include technical vocabulary in the teaching of phonics.  The talk we had from a teacher about how to teach phonics has inspired me to teach phonics in a way that the children will enjoy but also to help them learn.  It was so helpful to watch an example of outstanding teaching and having the chance to ask questions.  I thought the input was fantastic. It has enabled me to feel more confident in teaching phonics.

20.  Overall ratings (scale of 1-5): very good The project has had a great impact on my professional development. My head thinks differently about me. I am now a lead teacher for phonics in my school and respected in the field.

21.  Overall ratings: very good I feel much more confident about a range of ways of teaching phonics creatively. We are able to show students a greater range of schools and approaches than they will see from their school experiences. Very positive to communicate the shared purpose of our two communities: schools and RU. Insights gained from the teachers have been built into the way I explain certain elements to students.
