All materials are included in the course fees. All participants completing a CA professional development module receive a certificate. We also support teachers on all programmes to gain accreditation through the GTC Teacher Learning Academy.
The above courses are held at various locations throughout the UK and last between 10 and 12 full days, across one or two years, dependant on local circumstances. They can be organised as a whole school training package. If you want to find out about courses currently running, arrange for a course to be offered in your school or local authority, please contact Lynda Maple.
Becoming a Thinking School
If you are interested in introducing CAME as a whole school, a tailored package of training and support can be provided. This could include an INSET Day, a ten day course for staff, training for teaching assistants and/or in-class support for teachers. This can be managed as an individual school or a network of schools. Individual schools receiving this level of support are also able to sell places on the ten day course to other interested local schools to income generate. Please contact Lynda Maple for details.
CAME Taster
One or two hour sessions can be offered to schools or local authorities as staff meetings, INSET workshops or conference workshops.
