Join the Schools of Sanctuary Network to launch ‘Supporting refugee children in the classroom’ the new teacher education programme developed by Refugee Education UK and the University of Nottingham.
The training programme draws on more than a decade of REUK’s research and practical experience supporting refugee children in UK schools, and the framework of ‘safety, belonging and success’ developed by Professor Joanna McIntyre, author of ‘Refugee Education: Theorising Practice in Schools’.
In this short introductory webinar, REUK and the University of Nottingham will outline:
- the structure and progression of the training programme
- who might benefit from the training
- a brief overview of the 7 key themes addressed in the flexible and self-guided programme which include topics such as English as an Additional Language for refugee children; accelerated learning and preparation for exams; psychosocial wellbeing and trauma; and progression to further study
- how to access the training programme
There will then be time for a brief Q&A.
