Has anyone been on any good courses lately? Our department has a goood budget for sending us on courses. Part of the school's commitment to PD. I don't know which courses to put in for. THe rest of the department see them as jollys to get away from school.
I'm particularly interested if you paid for it yourself.

I did the SEN in the science lab course which was very good. I don't suppose this would be of interest to you as you don't teach science. You look through your LEA folder. A lot of the courses assumme that behaviour is a big problem though.

Our school is thinking of running a remedial term at the begining of year 7. We are all going to have to teach RRR to our new intake! I second Sally's indignation. I am not a primary school teacher. I don't mind tutoring the basics, but to have to teach them in a whole class setting makes me cross. What are the primary schools doing?
