Professional Development
3 hours training in which up to three staff members from your school will be able to attend. The training will be divided into two sessions, both of 1.5 hours in duration. Session one will focus on familiarization with the resource, its functionality and strategies to use it to teach the subject in question in the classroom. Session two will encourage participants to reflect on how their experience of the resource, how successfully they have used it, and how they can build on that each time they teach. In between each session, participants will be set a task in which they will have to use the resource in class and make notes on their experience.
