Testimonials

Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership

I wanted to thank you for the wonderful workshop you facilitated at the Academy last Friday. It set such a positive energy for the rest of the day and allowed teachers to think authentically about the future of languages learning. Your modelling of how to motivate students in the classroom was a highlight for me. “ - Mamoun Scally (TEP Master Teacher 2024).

Goldilocks and the Porridge - Differentiation in Action

"I absolutely loved this session. Great presenter, clear objectives, and interesting activities. It was engaging, practical and enjoyable. I have used several of the strategies he provided us with, and it gave me greater confidence to cater for a range of abilities within the Maths Classroom." (Haileybury Junior School Teacher)

"I found the nature of the workshop to be very participatory and involving rather than abstract, which was helpful overall because we were required to develop ideas and conduct practical exercises that help to mimic some differentiated activities. There were differentiated approaches for the content, process and outcome." (Haileybury Keysborough Senior School Teacher)

Languages Workshops and Coaching

Collaborating with Linton significantly enhanced our students' language acquisition skills across all proficiency levels. Our teaching methods experienced a notable improvement, resulting in more engaging and effective lessons that fostered a supportive learning environment for both students and staff.

Linton played a key role in helping us make sense of teaching languages in a manner that could be seamlessly applied across the curriculum, particularly in literacy for our English as an Additional Language (EAL) learners. His professional development style is both engaging and informative, establishing a strong and trusting relationship with our staff that positively influenced the success of the program.

Linton effectively supports classroom teachers in language instruction using an 'I do, We do, You do' model, which proved to be transferable across various curriculum areas. His constructive feedback and support were instrumental in enabling our staff to enhance their own knowledge, skills, and confidence in teaching languages.

Additionally, Linton played a pivotal role in our school's adoption of the TCL languages program. His clear and effective communication motivated all staff members, resulting in the successful implementation of a whole-school approach. This approach ensures a cohesive and impactful language learning environment for our students.
