CPD on EAL: Using the Foundation’s Classroom Guidance and Strategies (Webinar)
This webinar explores how to implement impactful CPD on EAL in international schools using the updated Classroom Guidance and Strategies.
This is the second of two webinars exploring how The Bell Foundation’s updated Classroom Guidance and Strategies document can be used in an international school context. This webinar will explore characteristics of effective teacher learning and apply these principles to developing a continuous professional development (CPD) programme on EAL in an international school context. Participants will learn about different approaches to using the support strategies in staff training that they can apply or adapt for their own contexts.

Areas of focus will include:
- What is CPD on EAL and why is it important?;
