What’s new? – Read about – LAHAL Professional Learning Packs – a convenient way for practitioners to engage in professional learning.

 

 

 

  • These downloadable packs provide a great way for current practitioners, trainee teachers and NQTs to develop their professional learning in the workplace.
  • The first pack supports the reader to explore, review and develop knowledge and understanding of what is meant by a ‘healthy active lifestyle’ and the theories underpinning its achievement.
  • Each pack encourages a process of self–review against specific learning objectives and outcomes, linked to TDA ‘Q’ and ‘C’ standards. As such they are particularly appropriate for NQTs and trainee teachers providing a means for collecting ongoing evidence of progress, however current practitioners will also find them invaluable for reviewing and renewing practice in their schools.
  • Each pack provides up–to–date information, school-based practical implementation tasks, and suggestions for further reading and resources.
