Martin’s additional focus on reducing screen-time whilst raising expectations around learning has resonated well with our community

I love that when we are unsure about something or looking for an alternate approach, the staff quite often ask, “What would Martin do?” Martin’s support is helping our staff break the perceived link between Scaffolding, Differentiation and Feedback and increased Teacher workload.
