Brent out-of-school settings teacher training – 2

Teaching Skills in Supplementary Schools – online course

We have now prepared an online version of our popular Teaching Skills in Supplementary Schools, using Google Classroom and Zoom. Six teachers from Brent Supplementary Schools have completed it over May/June and their feedback has been very positive.

‘Even in the current circumstances where the training had to be adapted for online lessons in such a short period of time, it was very well designed and covered all the necessary information’

‘All the information provided in the course was extremely useful and can be used at our school. The lesson plan model lesson was very effective and easy to use. All the information about specifics roles at supplementary school were very important and clearly given’

‘Thank you, Angela for this brilliant course. It was a pleasure to have a class with you.’

‘I found all aspects of the training very useful. The separate rooms in groups gave us a chance to discuss different ideas and strategies. We were able to discuss the video observations and compare ideas. The various hand-outs and PowerPoint slides were comprehensive and clear and I could compare my skills to the information provided. Angela delivered the course very clearly and found all the information she provided useful in all aspects.’

The course will last 6 weeks and will lead to a certificate from the National Resource Centre for Supplementary Education.

Topics are as follows:

1          Mainstream and Supplementary Schools

2          Role of the Teacher and Evaluation

3          Teaching Methods and Lesson Planning

4          Assessment

5          Learning Environment

Each week you will do some preparation at home, meet up online for a Zoom tutorial for the whole group, and write a short assessment task, which you upload to Google Classroom.  Your tutor can mark it and send you comments using Google Classroom.

You will have a week after the end of the course to complete your written assessment tasks, and if necessary, have an individual tutorial.

Watch this video to find out how to log in and use Google Classroom.

We shall have a short Zoom meeting on Tuesday 14^th July at 10 – 10.45 just to check that you can use Google Classroom to prepare and upload your written work. 

You can ask questions about the course then.

Looking forward to meeting you at our first Zoom meeting.
