8. Excellence in teaching I've really enjoyed the interactive seminars and presentations. Staff are extremely enthusiastic and very professional. I enjoy our UPD days as it gives us all a chance to catch up and it is important to speak to your peers to check your own development against there's. I find it helpful to know what other people are doing in school so I can perhaps take some of this on myself. It is nice to see the lecturers and the tutors as well and be reminded that you have the support of the university. The staff who make up the teacher training team are brilliant. They are enthusiastic, passionate and want to encourage us to feel the same about teaching and learning with children. It was so good to meet up with my P group and talk to lecturers. Thank you! Looking forward to the next one. P r e vi o u s
