“We were fortunate enough to have Tania Lattanzio (Innovative Global Education) spend a week with us at ICSA in September 2019. During that time, Tania worked with a range of teachers, covering all ages and subjects. Before the visit, Tania ensured that she familiarised herself with the context of the school so that she could be well prepared. Tania worked with individual grade level and subject teams to craft exciting, student-centred units of inquiry, everything from PreK to Grade 8 Maths. She helped teachers to understand the concepts behind the units, emphasised the need for hooking students in and keeping them engaged, and ensured that there was a clear flow from the framing questions to the assessment task, allowing for student questions and choice. She worked very efficiently with the time she had. She was able to respond to the individual needs of teachers instantly. At the end of the week, we benefited from having well written units which acted as models for future units, a broader understanding of inquiry and conceptual understanding, and a clearer picture of assessment tasks and rubrics. Tania concluded her visit with a whole-staff interactive session on the use of provocations to stimulate learning. This was well received, providing strategies that could be instantly used in classrooms. Tania is extremely knowledgeable about curriculum, innovations in education, resources and strategies. She is quick to gauge a situation and to respond accordingly, and is extremely efficient. She is a pleasure to work with and I recommend her highly as a consultant”.
