Another fantastic day of training for our trainees! Today, all our trainees came together in Sheffield for a full day of regional, in-person training. It was great to have everyone together in one place, learning, sharing ideas and developing their skills.
A highlight of the day was a session on Unconditional Positive Regard, delivered by David Whitaker, Author, and CEO of Wellspring Academy Trust.
Our trainees found the session really inspiring, and we received some great feedback about how useful and relevant they found it. They looked at how positive and supportive relationships can make a real difference to behaviour and learning, as well as practical ways to create an inclusive and supportive classroom.
The day also included sessions on safeguarding, building confidence in the classroom, and practical ways to inspire and communicate with pupils.
A big thank you to David, Katie Anderson and Emma Jane Cooper for delivering such great sessions and sharing their knowledge and experience with our trainees today.
