INFORMATION FOR SCHOOL LEADERS / LA EDUCATION TEAMS
We are working with Rise MAT (Leicestershire based multi academy trust) to develop first step EAL provision in a range of school settings, from small rural primary schools to large inner city secondary schools.
Using our series, ‘Practise Your English for Schools’ we offer online and live CPD for TAs, S&L specialists, SENCOs, teachers and leaders, introducing proven approaches to teaching EAL in a school context, building confidence, peer friendships and wellbeing. The focus is on developing spoken language, layering key literacy skills as you go.
We are currently developing a ‘train the trainer’ programme, allowing this approach to be rolled out across academy trusts or LA schools.
SCHOOL LEADER’S VOICE
‘How many school leaders have sat in a room with a parent who doesn’t speak English, trying to explain key cultural differences in the UK? These books are a game-changer!’
Deputy leader from Leicestershire Rise Multi Academy Trust
