Testimonials
“I have a good understanding of strategies that will support the children in my whole class with good practise teaching skills.
Teaching Assistant
“The training was very informative. Whilst lots of information was shared it was presented in a very user-friendly way - with lots of visuals, recaps and small quizzes. I particularly enjoyed watching the case studies and where the children detailed lots of ways in which staff both hinder and help them. The fact that training was online and with no time constraints meant that it has been easy for me to dip in and out. The fact that you can scroll back to previous sections was useful especially if there was a long break between training sessions. The course tutor introduced herself at the beginning and made sure we could communicate to her if any problems or questions arose. She also made sure to check in regularly by sending emails and responded quickly to myself and colleagues who at first struggled to answer some questions with regards to our role, she amended the questions and detailed more forum topics which made contributing easier. I look forward to undertaking similar training on a variety of topics.
