Teachers were enthusiastic after school and sounded motivated to work on their goals. I am pleased that you are back in three weeks to follow up as I think that this will encourage them to continue to work on their bank of resources. You are doing a great job! Thank you for coming to our school and working with the teachers.

Thanks Jacqui and thanks for the impact you have had on PVS over many years. You have been inspirational to all our teachers - at all levels - and I have particularly grateful for the way you have kept our high flyers buzzing and reaching out over the years. I have spent the last few days meeting individually with teachers going over their individual portfolios and was just so impressed with the collective expertise and the reflection and growth in those. Such commitment to using digital contexts as well - and you have been a massive part of the digital development and the reflection and growth mindset. THANK YOU so much

Working with Jacqui Sharp has had a dynamic impact on my teaching practice. Traditionally a pen and paper teacher I now consider myself a 21st-century educator thanks to Jacqui. I use digital workshops in all facets of my teaching and students are able to access these independently from the teacher to create their own learning pathways. The resource website that Jacqui has developed for us is comprehensive. I use it for teaching and modelling as well as for student to access independently, with a group or at home.

Jacqui sharp has been pivotal in my on going professional development within elearning and leadership. With her guidance and knowledge I was able to develop my skills and recently become an assistant principal and elearning leader at my current school. Her website enables ongoing professional development and rich content which is so useful for teachers in a 21st century classroom. Without her knowledge and guidance I would not have achieved what I have today.

Jacqui has been an incredible e-learning leader and mentor. She is always ready to share her wealth of knowledge, ideas and resources. Working with Jacqui has shaped my entire teaching programme and the way I approach lessons, making resources and my classroom set up. Her support has been invaluable, especially for me as a beginning teacher.

Firstly I would like to express my appreciation for the work that Jacqui Sharp has done with me. I have been here for 1 year and during my first 6 months I taught in the Maori Immersion Unit. Jacqui produced resources in Maori that facilitated learning for our children learning in Te Reo Maori. She also taught me how to use the mimio board and make Maori resources to support my learning programmes. I am now in the mainstream class and continue to utilise fully Jacqui Sharp's Resources website with so many valuable resources for the children in my class.
