Keynote Speech at NSW Schools Conference 2010

"Thanks so much for your talk! I just decided not to retire ... it (education) is just beginning to get interesting!"

Teachers from Catholic College, Wodonga after a day long workshop
“He did a fantastic job of moving throughout each team and motivating everyone with examples. At no time did I feel that I couldn't communicate with him"

" He improved our planning through making us find a real point to why we were teaching that way and doing those activities. I think the kids will find it much more relevant to them."

"I had been to a PD in May which talked about learning process but I came away more confused than when I entered. Adrian helped to really simplify it for me and I didn't feel like I was being sold a product - it was very refreshing!"

"He made me wish I wasn't going to leave! Seriously!"

Sue Fergeus, Curriculum Co-ordinator, Performance and Development Co-ordinator, Brentwood Park Primary School
“Adrian Bertolini presented an Inquiry Learning Workshop to our whole staff. He was engaging and knowledgeable about the process and had the staff working productively preparing units of work for Term 1.  Many teachers have approached me to comment how worthwhile and relevant this presentation was for them and how they felt much more comfortable with changing direction in their teaching.  I was impressed with the exchange of information which took place prior to the day in order to provide us with a program which suited the needs of our staff. I would not hesitate to recommend him to other schools.”
 
Richard Lloyd, Principal, Westall Primary School
"I am happy to let you know that feedback from all the schools was fantastic! Everyone was impressed by your presentation, and the work they did!! I loved your passion as well. We look forward to working with you through the year!"

Larissa Dorrington, Year 7 PD Coordinator, Carwatha P-12 College
"Our team has created a display board in our staff room with our planning on show. We are hoping to generate some interest this way and get teachers from some of the other learning areas on board.  I’m glad we decided to implement the unit in term 3, as we will certainly need the extra time to prepare properly. Thank you again for running such a great session.!"

Climate Change Presentations

Roberta Williams: Science Coordinator, Yarrawonga Secondary College
“Thanks so much for your huge effort educating so many children on ‘Global Warming’ and how they can make a difference….it’s amazing the impact one person can have not only on students but also on staff by practicing what you preach. You are a sensational speaker – who is able to put things to the level understood by younger and older kids.”

Sarah Davis, Year 7 Coordinator
Adrian Bertolini presented a ‘Global Warming and Climate change’ session to 80 Year 7 students. Adrian tested students prior knowledge, then built on their understandings to dispel any myths and misunderstandings the students had. He was able to engage his audience and definitely shocked the students when they realised just how much energy they waste daily, as well as providing ways in which they can help minimise the destruction of our earth and atmosphere.
