26/02/2019 @ Nottingham - Lesson observation & learning walks: improving learning in maths & English (Central)
The direct observation of teaching has for too long been associated with performance management alone, when it has a vital role to play in developing and improving it too. This practical one-day course will rigorously dissect what best practice means in maths and English and look in depth at how observations can be used developmentally by managers and colleagues to improve the teaching of maths and English - both when delivered in standalone lessons and when embedded into vocational learning.

08/03/2019 @ Online - Maximising the effectiveness of support staff (webinar)
Research evidence indicates there can be a positive impact on learner attainment when a range of support staff work in structured settings, implementing targeted interventions using brief, regular sessions maintained over time to motivate, support and engage students. These interventions need to be based on detailed assessments to ensure that the right support is provided to the right pupil. This webinar will help you explore these areas.
12/03/2019 @ Online - Webinar 8 - Mentoring Apprentices in the workplace with an emphasis on maths and English
Apprentice (workplace) supervisors do not need to consider themselves as maths or English experts, or indeed, be particularly confident in these areas themselves in order to provide effective, advice, guidance and support. The key to this is simply 'knowing your apprentice' and having effective procedures for liaising with the provider (e.g. teacher, trainer or assessor).
This seminar will offer some principles of securing employer support.
