Testimonials From Schools

St Peters Catholic Primary School (Caboolture)

Pat has worked in our school as a consultant in the area of reading and writing over the last 2 years. We have employed her for seminars for whole staff PD Sessions as well as in a mentoring capacity for whole of year levels or single teachers. Pat is very well received by teachers who see her as a practising teacher rather than a visiting educational theorist. Her experience in the classroom and as a reading recovery teacher means all of her ideas are practical and manageable in real classrooms. She has the ability to work with teachers of all levels of experience and enthusiasm. Pat’s passion for effective literacy teaching in schools is evident and the organizational and pedagogical methods she espouses have proven to be effective in our school.

Any improvement in educational outcomes is at the mercy of what teachers decide to think and do in their own classrooms. Much money is wasted because so much PD ends up having no effect on what is actually happening in the room regardless of the validity of the theory or who is giving the direction. In the dynamics of the real classroom teachers respond to consultants who are at the coalface, modeling, observing and providing feedback. Pat Edgar is an educator of the highest caliber who engages her students completely. Teachers connect with her and seem eager to try her ideas.

- Jim Midgley, Assistant Principal
