Early Literacy and Learning Support

This training is for teachers or HLTAs who have previous experience of teaching early reading. They need to be able to focus on outcomes, to think creatively, to critically self-reflect and to take a flexible approach to teaching and learning.

The course involves one day of assessment training (to be held in Sept 2016), followed by ten afternoon sessions up to February half-term. Training will take place at Canford Heath Infant School in Poole. During the course, delegates need to teach four children individually every day; a minimum of two and a half hours must be allocated for this. Delegates need to be able to attend all the training sessions and will be expected to film lessons to discuss with colleagues. It is suggested that schools should allocate a member of the SLT to support their delegate. The course tutor, Diane French, will visit each school at least twice to observe individual lessons and provide support and mentoring to delegates.
