Teacher Training Workshops
Teacher Training Workshops
You can attend workshops to discuss the theory and practice behind embedding BME/BAME diversity into taught content. In order to ensure the sessions are delivered in course-appropriate ways, they are run as workshops so that teaching staff are given opportunities to share existing good practice and respond to the ideas put forward in the workshop. All attendees are encouraged to read the literature available on this webpage before attending a workshop.
The workshops can be booked for an agreed date between April 2017 and June 2017. Bookings should be made by the department head or with their knowledge.
