“Janelle from Growth Intentions has been great in supporting our language team to shape our thinking around the inquiry based approach to senior secondary language assessments. She is approachable, knowledgeable and supportive. She challenged our thinking and worked efficiently with our team to analyse our approach to inquiry based assessment and helped us strategise solutions. Her enthusiasm for languages is unrivalled and she is a powerful agent for change.”

– Mali (AITSL Certified Highly Accomplished Teacher) on behalf of the Modern Languages and EALD staff at UC Senior Secondary College Lake Ginninderra

“Janelle is an inspiring and visionary leader of languages education and a highly-regarded Japanese language teacher, who established and leads the North Canberra Professional Learning Community for Japanese teachers, of which I have been a member for the past seven years. Janelle established the PLC with a vision of creating a trusting community, which collaborates to improve our individual and collective practice as language teachers. From her deep, research-informed understanding of the many layers of language learning and teaching, Janelle has led many inspiring sessions, where each teacher’s experiences and difficulties as language teachers have been validated and creatively problem-solved in a collaborative and respectful manner. Working with Janelle has been a transformative experience for me and I cannot recommend her highly enough to you.”
