New Perspectives … offers two main types of course designed for headteachers, teachers, those training to teach and, often, other staff or governors in primary and nursery schools. This page describes the courses New Perspectives on … while those Thinking Through Pedagogy can be seen on that page.
All of the courses are designed to encourage discussion and the sharing of good practice, recognising the need for teachers to think through and reflect on the complexity of children’s learning. They are, therefore, very different from courses which offer simple solutions.
The courses are based on research and experience, with both theoretical and practical elements. Courses are set up, usually in schools, in response to requests, rather than organised on pre-set dates. If you wish to discuss holding one of these courses in this school and how these can be of most use to you, then please contact tony@edperspectives.org.uk
