Our courses are asynchronous, allowing participants to complete them at their own pace, working on their own or as part of whole-school initiatives. For example, if your school is looking to adopt a unified approach to EAL assessment and planning, teachers across your school can engage with our two dedicated EAL courses: EAL Assessment in Primary School and EAL Planning and Strategies Across the School (Primary).
We are continually expanding our offerings, with a Computer Coding course currently in development and our first course specifically for school secretaries launching soon.
Key Features of the Platform:
· Interactive Content: Including videos, ebooks, assessments, and certificates.
· Asynchronous Learning: Accessible anytime, offering maximum flexibility.
· Practical and Transformative: Courses that go beyond theory and provide actionable strategies for the classroom.
