Alison Dean is a fantastic presenter and so knowledgeable.
The most valuable thing I took from a PL on the new Modern Languages Syllabus was how in-depth and proactively she approached the PL and her expert sequencing of information to allow for deep understanding. I now feel confident to discuss the content of the PL with my faculty and can easily apply my learning! 
She also is so approachable and very clear in her presentation. I can’t wait to attend another PL by Alison again, such an effective use of PL time!

The most practical-orientated PD done by myself on this area of syllabus change. Other PD sessions presented big-picture ‘whys’ and ‘whats’,  but very little ‘hows’. Thanks for filling in the vital ‘hows’.

In Ali Dean’s valuable presentation, her profound expertise shone brightly as she effortlessly guided the audience through the understanding and implementation of the new Modern Languages K-10 Syllabus into existing programs. Her straightforward and grounded approach made the complex concepts simple and easily digestible. The follow-up activities she proposed were both intriguing and practical, leaving the attendees excited and empowered to embrace the new syllabus with enthusiasm.
