It's been fantastic having all our trainees together this week for our Intensive Training and Practice (ITAP) sessions during our central training days. They've been developing their understanding of key teaching principles, including scaffolding to support the learning of all children, including those with SEND. With expert advice and guidance from our experienced tutors, they've also been learning how to apply scaffolding techniques when planning their own lessons. Following on from their Familiarisation sessions in August, they also took part in their third Serbian session, whilst also focusing on scaffolding. We've loved seeing their enthusiasm and willingness to get stuck in, ask questions and pick up practical ideas to use in their classrooms. #TeachLanguages #TeacherTraining #MFL
