She found Alan’s course invaluable in quickly understanding her students’ characteristics, allowing her to tailor her communication and teaching methods effectively.
Caroline particularly noted the course’s scientific approach, which enabled her to connect with her students on a deeper level, leading to increased class attendance and engagement, especially among autistic students. She also praised the course for helping her create a more dynamic and interconnected classroom environment by grouping students in pods, which fostered collaboration and idea-sharing.
Overall, Caroline highly recommends Alan Stevens’ profiling course as a valuable tool for educators, especially those dealing with large and diverse student groups. The course has helped her optimize the learning experience, enhance student confidence, and better equip them to tackle creative problem-solving tasks.
