"One to One" hot topics
Each Primary Languages Network member school is entitled to a free 1 to 1 consultancy with one of the designated associate primary language teachers or myself. The school year has only just started and so far this year we have met with over 40 colleagues in their own primary learning environments. Network members - you can book your school's free 1 to 1 consultancy here or also straight from the home page of the VLE ( top right hand corner).Feedback has been really pleasing....
