How is the programme structured?

The programme consists of three steps:-

1. A full day training session to be held on 3 February 2016 (9-3.30pm) at Langdale Centre, Wallsend.

2. Delegates will be expected to trial several aspects of their learning into their daily work.

3. Delegates will attend a final session on 13 April 2016 (9-12noon) to share their experiences and to reflect upon the impact of the training, on their role.

Who should participate in this programme?

This is an ideal CPD opportunity and a forum to network with colleagues from around the region.  This course is open to all Teaching Assistants working in schools in the Northumberland, Tyne, Wear and Country Durham areas. Delegates must be available to attend both sessions.
