The materials on IdeaStream empower my staff to drive school improvement forward. It’s accessible for all, at times to suit, which is really important when it comes to staff workload
I can’t pick fault with IdeaStream. It speaks to exactly what I need - I think it’s brilliant!
I love IdeaStream’s bitesize videos! The last thing teachers need at the end of the day is huge chunks of CPD to digest. It promotes discussion and is a great tool for CPD
