"I felt a little apprehensive before starting the qualification, but it really clarified my thinking and my understanding of the research. It was great to connect with other professionals in the same situations and share our understanding and prior experiences. I have been able to share my learning with my colleagues and engage more confidently in conversations relating to school development and teacher development."
