Most teachers are required to undertake a pastoral role in their school - often as a form tutor or deputy form tutor. It is often the case that this important area of work is not comprehensively covered in initial teacher training. This course provides a clear overview of the roles, skills and responsibilities of form tutors. Participants will reflect on the different ways that schools have developed this role - and the course will include practical interactive exercises, group discussion and tutor input.
* Describe and clarify the various roles a form tutor will undertake.
* Develop the skills required to manage relationships with the form, parents and colleagues.
* Build confidence to identify and tackle pastoral and curriculum issues.
* Provide suggestions to make form tutor time effective and enjoyable.
