Here is what teachers have said about the seminars
“
I found using the model of starting with the characteristics of God most helpful"
"This course has helped me to integrate Christian perspectives into my programme in a meaningful and REAL way. I like the idea of starting with a characteristic of God and linking it with Habits of Mind and Habits of Character."
Jason Reed, Taree Christian College
“I felt inspired and rejuvenated about integration and sharing the ideas with other teachers”
“I liked the concept of placing God first, then working your outcomes from there. I really like the ‘Interact Learning Path"
“It’s great how God becomes the ‘centre’ of the programming and teaching. The resources are excellent!”
"This was a complete reversal of my thought processes. "In the beginning God..." instead of trying to make him fit"
"Everything was helpful, especially applying the Interact Learning Path to a unit I am planning for next term."
Deborah McDermott, Heritage Christian School
"The Interact Learning Path is helpful - good to use before you start programming."
Dr Susan Bird, Coordinator of Curriculum and Policy, Pacific Coast Christian School
“The skills and insights gained from Helen’s workshop are invaluable irrespective of any decision regarding the Interact Curriculum material itself. It is suitable for primary and middle school teachers at all levels.”
Vicki Danvers, CSA Executive Officer - NSW/ACT
