MAGRUDY’S EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE CENTRE
is pleased to present Alan Peat
2nd, 3rd & 4th of November 2008
Alan Peat is a Staffordshire based Independent Education Consultant with a national and international reputation for training which has an immediate, sustainable impact on writing standards and SAT results. Check out: www.alanpeat.com
Your school’s training budget is precious.
Individual teachers places on training courses are expensive and any subsequent school-wide impact is reliant on that teacher effectively cascading ideas to the rest of your staff. Because of this, Alan has devised a range of courses, which are delivered by him personally (not an associate) and which provide high quality, effective training to your entire team, encompassing both teaching and support staff.
Alan explains: “Writing standards at Year 6 are entirely dependent on the teaching that has gone before. Whole school training means everyone gets the same message, and if that message is an effective one, standards within the school will rise without sacrificing pupils’ enjoyment of writing.”
Alan’s training offers practical, effective ideas which work! Some of these ideas come from Alan’s publications; you can see the whole range at:
http://www.alanpeat.com/both.html
Some of his approaches stem from his experience as a primary school teacher, LEA Literacy/ Gifted and Talented Advisor and Teaching and Learning Consultant.
Alan is an associate consultant for Dudley Regional Staff College and a training provider for Partnerships for Learning and The London Institute of Education.
Target audience:
Teachers, teaching assistants and parents of pupils in Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.
