What is Year 8? An aftermath to the excitement of a new school and new subjects in Year 7, or a prelude to the gravitas of SATs preparation in Year 9? Either way this is a time when we can either utilise a valuable year to embed best practice or lose many students in a directionless haze.
The aim of this course is to concentrate on methods and classroom initiatives which will generate the former rather than the latter. Delegates will leave the course with a clear understanding of classroom techniques and ideas which are transferable across subjects to create an atmosphere and working climate of anticipation and curiosity, rather than apathy and bewilderment.
