Packages of Support in Shifting Pedagogy Towards Curriculum for Wales

Although all the courses below can be run as individual courses, what we are finding is that SIG Groups, School Clusters and Individual Schools are planning usually between 4-6 days of INSET in preparation for Curriculum for Wales. Courses that are popular in this package are Curriculum For Wales 2022, Inquiry Based Learning, A Culture of Learning and Design and Deliver your Dream Curriculum. To find out more about Packages of Support email us as info@tlpwales.co.uk

All of our courses have been re-designed to be delivered either face-to-face or remotely through on-line sessions. We can discuss the best method of delivery with you. We will work with you to find a solution.
