In RTA, I learnt to be intentional and to be positively impactful in my role as a teacher. I learnt to see my job or profession in a different light. I learnt to embrace technology and not fight it. I now consciously employ blended learning in my teaching. It has been a most awesome time and I greatly enjoyed every module.

I learnt so much from the Right Teacher Academy. Working with the academy was a time well spent. I have been re-awakened to my responsibilities as a great teacher and I know my activities and approaches to the profession can never be the same.

RTA provided a holistic insight to all I needed to know to run a 1st class school. The entire training has completely overhauled my understanding of teaching and learning by providing insights to what has been tested and proven to work. The entire training is transformative.

At TRTA, I learnt many things most important of all is that I now see my profession in a very different light. I will make sure that I am a good ambassador of my profession by speaking up and speaking right. I will not be one of those who speak ill of the profession and run it down. I will not be a part of the problem, but a solution.
