It aims to: • Give participants an awareness and understanding of offender behaviour • Identify the key features of safe recruitment • Consider policies and practices that minimise opportunities for abuse and embed reporting • Help participants begin to review their own and their organisation’s policies and practice with a view to making them safer.

Outline:

Session 1 looks at how safer recruitment fits with the wider context of safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, the scale of abuse, a model of offender behaviour, some aspects of the characteristics of abusers and of how child sex abusers typically operate within organisations. Session 2 illustrates the importance of planning a recruitment exercise, sending the right messages to potential applicants, following a consistent and thorough process to obtain relevant information about each applicant, and short-listing candidates for interview. Session 3 considers the importance of making the right decisions and using structured interviews to help do that, as well as preemployment checks on the candidate selected for appointment.

Senior Leaders, Subject Leaders, Teachers, HLTAs, TAs and SENCo/ Inclusion Managers. Research, commissioned by Ofsted, revealed that there are some consistent areas in which EAL learners often encounter difficulties in relation to writing. This applies to children from a range of backgrounds and different ages. The Teaching units to support guided sessions for writing in English as an additional language are an archived, downloadable National Strategy resource aimed at addressing specific grammar and vocabulary-extension needs of advanced EAL learners in developing writing (Y2-6). This session is aimed at helping EAL co-ordinators, teachers and TAs to become familiar with the teaching units and to trial the use of some of the resources.

Outline:

This session will give you opportunities to:

• What further systems can be put in place to meet the needs of new arrivals

• Consider the difficulties that EAL learners face in relation to writing

• How induction teaching can be set up to meet the languagelearning needs of early-stage EAL learners.

• Develop awareness of strategies for supporting EAL pupils in writing

Outcome:

• Trial the use of some of the Teaching units.

• Review existing practice at your school in relation to the admissions and induction of new EAL learners

Senior Leaders, Subject Leaders, Teachers, HLTAs, TAs, SENCo/ Inclusion Managers and EAL Co-ordinators.

Description:

The Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC) dimension of the curriculum is not a new area of provision having always been a core aspect of the work schools do to ensure that their pupils develop into well-rounded individuals; however, the requirement to actively promote fundamental British Values has placed a responsibility on schools to ensure that this good work, which may be implicit across the curriculum, should become explicit so that pupils and visitors to the school know what skills are being developed to encourage respect for democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. This course for SMSC co-ordinators will help you to audit your practice in this area in order to help you evidence SMSC across the curriculum and to consider how British Values are actively promoted and celebrated at your school.

Outline:

This session will give you opportunities to: • Explore the key issues in developing the SMSC dimension with reference to British Values • Reflect upon your school’s current provision • Consider appropriate strategies and planning in order to further develop inclusive practice.

Outcome:

• Identify your school’s successes in this area • Know what steps your school can take in further developing the SMSC dimension.

Cultural Inclusivity and British Values in your Everyday Teaching This course is recommended for:

Senior Leaders, Subject Leaders and Teachers.

Description:

The demographic of Havering, and neighbouring boroughs, is changing rapidly.

Developing the writing of EAL Learners in Secondary schools This course is recommended for:

Senior Leaders, Subject Leaders, Teachers, HLTAs and TAs.

Description:

Differentiating Learning Objectives for early-stage EAL Learners This course is recommended for:

Senior Leaders, Subject Leaders, Teachers, HLTAs, TAs, SENCo/ Inclusion Managers and EAL Co-ordinators.

EAL learners that enter into UK education for the first time in the secondary phase, and also those that enter mid-phase in primary schools, face particular challenges in the area of writing. A consistent approach to developing writing across a secondary school can ensure that children are clear about teacher expectations and better able to cope with the increasing demands and challenges of the curriculum.

Description:

This session will explore the difficulties intermediate-phase learners of EAL encounter in secondary schools with regard to the features of academic writing and will draw out strategies for addressing these difficulties in order to facilitate academic success.

This course – through its hands on workshop approach will provide teaching staff with the opportunity to analyse real learning objectives and gain invaluable experience at differentiating these to meet a range of needs. On their return to school, staff will be able to: differentiate Learning Objectives more successfully in order to provide the right level of support and challenge for early-stage EAL learners in their own classes; and cascade this approach to their colleagues.

Outline:

There will be opportunities to: • Consider the challenges of writing at KS3/4 • Assess the learning needs of intermediate-phase EAL learners in order to identify the next steps • Consider effective strategies for developing writing skills.

Outcome:

Early-stage EAL learners learn best when they spend most of the time in class accessing the curriculum alongside their English speaking peers. This approach, however, can present challenges for teaching staff that are aware that early-stage EAL learners may not be able to access the lesson the way it has been planned for the rest of the class.

Outline:

We will consider: • The purpose of learning objectives

By the end of the course you will:

• The difference between differentiation and simplification of learning objectives

• Be familiar with a range of strategies for addressing learners’ needs

• The benefits for pupils and staff of differentiating Learning Objectives.

• Be more confident in assessing the needs of EAL learners and planning learning activities to ensure progression.

Outcome:

You will be able to: • Differentiate a range of Learning Objectives according to the needs of early-stage EAL learners • Be more confident that early-stage EAL learners are receiving their entitlement to access to the same curriculum as their peers, with appropriate support and challenge.

Inclusion

Differentiation through questioning for EAL learners This course is recommended for:

Senior Leaders, Subject Leaders, Teachers, HLTAs, TAs, SENCo/ Inclusion Managers and EAL Co-ordinators.

Description:

Children with EAL need specific support and challenge to develop their grammar, vocabulary and reasoning skills. This is particularly apparent when they have mastered the basics of English but are still struggling to access more complex ideas in text and to relate these in their speech and writing. This course will provide a chance to consider how questioning can be used as a form of differentiation in the classroom to help children explore and develop their ideas. We will then contextualise this by considering how this can be applied to help them interact with texts in order to develop comprehension.

Outline:

This course is recommended for: HLTAs and TAs.

Description:

Teaching Assistants often have a crucial role to play in providing support for both early-stage and more advanced EAL learners. This is a developmental course with gap-tasks which will allow you to develop expertise in this area. As the course takes place over three sessions, you will have opportunities to reflect on and develop your practice over time and to network with colleagues in order to share good ideas.

Outline:

There will be opportunities to: • Consider how a second language is acquired and begin to assess pupils (session 1) • Consider some practical strategies for supporting pupils (session 2)

We will consider: • The purpose of asking questions

• Be able to put what you have learnt into practice (session 3).

• What makes an effective question • How to use questioning to develop children’s thinking.

Outcome:

By the end of the course you will: • Know how children acquire an additional language

You will be able to:

• Be aware of how pupils with little or no English can be assessed

• Be aware of how effective questioning can impact on children’s language development

• Be aware of best practice for meeting the needs of both earlystage and advanced learners of EAL.

• Be more confident in using questioning skills effectively in the classroom.

Meeting the demands of writing for EAL learners at KS1

Talking Maths – an intervention programme for EAL Learners

This course is recommended for:

Description:

Senior Leaders, Subject Leaders, Teachers, HLTAs, TAs, SENCo/ Inclusion Managers and EAL Co-ordinators. As they move from FS into KS1, some EAL learners may begin to struggle with the demands of the curriculum and, in particular, with expressing their ideas in writing. In some cases this may be linked to knowledge of phonics but, more frequently, this is linked to lack of vocabulary and/or grammatical knowledge, in addition to understanding the content of the topic and the relevant genre. This course will provide a chance to analyse the areas of difficulty that children encounter with regard to writing. We will then explore a range of strategies for helping children write successfully and independently.

Outline:

We will consider: • The difficulties that EAL learners face in relation to writing • Strategies for supporting EAL pupils in writing.

Outcome:

Senior Leaders, Subject Leaders, Teachers, HLTAs, TAs, SENCo/ Inclusion Managers and EAL Co-ordinators. Success in mathematics depends on the ability to think creatively. Speaking & listening activities, geared around the use of academic vocabulary and language for thinking, can help children use language to process their mathematical ideas. Talking Maths is a 10-week intervention programme, based on the Talking Partners programme, targeting speaking & listening skills in the context of mathematical language for children in Y1 - Y7. The programme typically benefits pupils who show mathematical competence but who need to develop their use and understanding of mathematical language. It is particularly effective for learners in the intermediate phase of learning EAL who need help to process difficult word problems and to articulate their ideas.

Outline:

This session will give you opportunities to: • Consider the challenges of mathematical language

You will be able to: • Identify the areas of writing that your learners struggle with most

• Become familiar with the structure of the Talking Maths programme

• Personalise your teaching or support to meet the needs of EAL learners.

• Try out the range of activities within the programme; and • Be equipped with the tools and resources to run the Talking Maths programme in your school.

Outcome:

By the end of this session, you will: • Understand the importance of speaking and listening in enabling learners to access the mathematics curriculum and achieve their full potential • Be able to run the Talking Maths programme in your school.

Talking Partners

The Language of Maths – Challenges for EAL Learners

This course is recommended for:

Description:

Senior Leaders, Subject Leaders, Teachers, HLTAs, TAs, Exam Officers, SENCo/Inclusion Managers and EAL Co-ordinators. Academic success is closely linked to both vocabulary knowledge and fluency, in the use of grammatical structures. Many children need enhanced opportunities to develop these through structured speaking and listening activities. Talking Partners @Primary, is the latest version of the Talking Partners oral language programme which has proven effectiveness in raising levels of achievement in writing for speakers of English as an additional language, as well as, other groups of learners whose spoken English restricts their academic potential. This 2-day course will provide you with all the materials and strategies required to set up and run this intervention. Please note that it is recommended that two delegates from each school attend: one senior/middle leader to co-ordinate the intervention and one TA to deliver it.

Outline:

Senior Leaders, Subject Leaders, Teachers, HLTAs, TAs, SENCo/ Inclusion Managers and EAL Co-ordinators. Although mathematics may appear to be a universal language, mathematical problem-solving requires children to use very precise language in order to clarify their thinking. EAL learners may often have good arithmetic ability but may struggle with other areas of the curriculum and, in particular, with access to word problems. This session will focus on the difficulties learners of EAL encounter when coping with the linguistic demands of maths at KS1/2. We will particularly consider how guided talk in maths lessons can be used to reinforce key vocabulary and help children develop their thought processes.

Outline:

There will be opportunities to: • Explore the language demands of different mathematical concepts

There will be opportunities to:

• Discuss strategies for addressing learners’ needs.

• Reflect on what effective speaking and listening development consists of as part of quality-first teaching

Outcome:

• Review and try out the strategies that make up the intervention

• Understand the challenges faced by EAL learners in relation to the language of maths

• Consider the organisation of Talking Partners @ Primary as an intervention.

Outcome:

By the end of the course you will:

• Know how to begin to address these challenges; and • Recognise the opportunities to teach language through the medium of maths.

By the end of the course you will: • Be familiar with the structure of Talking Partners @ Primary • Be able to run this as an intervention in your school.

We can ensure that School Attendance Officers are fully aware of the meaning of Dfe Attendance Coding and Guidelines, including supporting information and guidance from Havering Education Services on the Persistent Absence Threshold, Term Time Leave and preparation for Ofsted. The trainer will also discuss and advise the school maximising their use of the SIMS Software, and encourage further LMS Training where necessary.

Description:

Teachers, HLTAs, TAs and PVI Setting Staff.

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is the curriculum for children from birth to five. All settings and schools that educate young children must implement the EYFS. To do this effectively all staff must have knowledge and understanding of the EYFS and their responsibilities when working with young children. This course is aimed at those who are new to the EYFS. It is specifically aimed at practitioners working in PVI settings. This course will give an overview of the EYFS. You will have the opportunity to look at the Prime Areas of learning and think about how you would plan activities that support development. You will consider what observation means and how you can become an effective observer of young children. You will have the opportunity to consider how you may effectively link planning to observations.
