Most Helpful Reviews

VotesforSchools

Jared Thres, Assistant principal: Easily - comprehensive package with 3 different versions that can be adapted based on each individual school, easy communication and weekly updates as well as a 2 way process with ideas being welcomed for future topics.
Dominic Mulholland, Headteacher: I've implemented it in two schools (one secondary and one primary) and think it is brilliant, engaging, informative for children of any age. It would be the first implementation in a new school where I to change roles again.
Letitia Powell, Vice Principal: It is a brilliant resource to develop student's knowledge of the world around them, and they are able to apply this to their lives and subjects. They learn how to debate and courteously challenge opposing views, whilst listening carefully to others. They learn how to vote so that they are heard. Our pupils have a voice and are passionate about VFS.

J Williams, National Education Coordinator: Its an exceptional resources to seed ideas. however since the Pan-Canadian expectations vary from the original source documents some triage of the content is required. This takes time. The one thing teachers claim not to have a surplus of. The score of 9 accounts for this 'slight' inconvenience.
Laura Rodwell, Eco council leader and Ta: I think this is an important part of children learning and the video and live lessons are amazing.
Shawna, Professional Development Specialist: I've already shared it with my colleagues
