Teacher Testimonials


This was probably one of the best PDs I’ve attended. I will actually use this. Lynette made it light and enjoyable.

Sharyn Gray, Special Education, Undurba SS


This PD was thorough and very detailed and promoted self-reflection on my teaching practices. There was a good combination of theoretical and practical processes. Lynette was a fantastic presenter!

Jo Hammond, Teacher, Bribie Island SHS


Very practical. A good balance between activities and discussions. I’ll be able to implement these strategies in my classroom for all students. The presenter did a fantastic job. She kept the pace moving, but gave sufficient time for discussion.

Peter Whitehead, EAL/D Specialist Teacher


It’s great to attend a PD that I can walk away from with some strategies and activities that I can take directly into the classroom. Thanks!

The resources provided me with plenty of strategies to support EAL/D learners and my low literacy learners alike. A wealth of knowledge was provided. Thank you.

This Professional Development was very valuable. It has helped me to make connections that I didn’t know I was missing! I have had multiple light bulb moments! Lynette was an excellent presenter!

Teacher, Undurba State School


This session contained detailed and very helpful content, along with engaging activities to help us to develop ideas for classroom implementation. Lynette was a very engaging presenter.

Shaun Cathro, HOD Teaching and Learning and Media, Albany Creek SHS


I have attended a number of professional development workshops on how best to cater for EAL/D students over a number of years with Lynette. There is always a really good balance of theory and practical scenarios as well as takeaway resources, all of which helped in my approach to classroom teaching across all secondary year levels. I would highly recommend any teacher to engage with any of Lynette’s professional development opportunities.

John Ringelstein, Principal Project Officer, Learning and Professional Development, QLD Department of Education
