GA Professional Award testimonials

“Referring to frameworks and articles from the GA as well as criteria from the award has given credibility to my ideas and provided us as a department with a solid framework for change.” Faye Wilson-Cressey – GA Professional Award

“I certainly enjoyed taking the time for me and reflecting on things I’d done. I felt professionally challenged writing each response (in a good way!) and was able to reflect on my practice in a way we often don’t get time to do in school.” Emma Johns – GA Enhanced Professional Award
