Cover Supervisor Programme

_{^{About the programme}}

This newly developed programme is aimed at members of support staff working in a Cover Supervisor role, having had no formal teacher training. The programme is also suitable for Teaching Assistants interested in working as Cover Supervisors. The two day course introduces teaching and learning and shows delegates how they can begin to improve outcomes for students in cover lessons. The sessions are also designed to provide participants with a 'tool kit' to assist when lessons are less positive.
