Online Course Review: School Visits 101 with Adam Wallace

Adam Wallaces’ School Visits 101 course rocks. Well, not literally. Although at one point he did play the air guitar and make the noises. However, this course is amazing. I can only imagine what one of Adam’s school presentations are like. Yet, if they are anything like I’ve just experienced, then they must be fantabulous.

Adam is cheeky, light-hearted, full of energy and oozes with excitement for reading, writing and drawing as he generously delivers a course covering his 20+ years of knowledge and experience and 400 plus school visits. And because he is so energetic and inspiring, if I wasn’t beforehand, I would be inspired to go out and do my own school visits. I would be pumped and ready to go out and inspire some kids to get into reading, writing, and drawing.
​
I’ve done my share of school visits and have presented to a wide range of ages, kids and schools, and have received some great feedback from the students and the teachers. I was so pleased to be able to tick the boxes as what I was doing well, and now I know what and how I can improve my presentations and, as Adam says, ‘take them to the next level.’ I also loved the fact that Adam insists on you being yourself and not pretending to be someone else.

Adam is full of tips and advice from what to do to even discover what you can do in a presentation, the big why you even want to present, which age groups you’d be happy presenting to etc., what to do beforehand, how to create a few different types of sessions, what to do before, during and after the visit, selling books and more. There is so much gold in his videos, and even more in the pdf’s provided.

Each section of the course is broken down into bite-sized pieces, with individual lectures. And the fantastic thing is that there is even subtitles, extra notes, downloadable PDFs and templates, and the all-important hands-on homework tasks so you can get even more value out of the course.  
​
So, if you are thinking about doing school visits, or have been doing them for a while, this is the course for you.
I am not a school teacher. However, I am an author and illustrator who can’t wait to continue to ‘spread joy and energy, and inspire children’ with literature. A big massive thanks to Adam Wallace and his fun, fresh and inspirational course. I highly recommended it.
