LIVE ONLINE: Leading an Area of Learning and Experience (Afternoon 1pm – 3.30pm)
Course date: 2nd May 2024
Many teachers are confused about how to Lead an Area of Learning and Experience. This half-day zoom course will explore the importance of the role within the new curriculum and how to get this into perspective; what effective curriculum design, provision and medium-term planning may look in and across AoLEs; how to establish assessment and progression across the AoLE; how to effectively lead and manage an AoLE, including how to monitor, evaluate and action plan for excellent provision. There will be time for AoLE leads to have input, discussion, and share their concerns. As part of the session, delegates will receive a copy of the Leading your AoLE booklet worth £75 available in Welsh and English.
