Online Booking for Courses

To: Headteachers and CPD Leaders From: CPD Team

The CPD team is now running an online booking system for courses. We would like as many schools as possible to use the system. The benefits for you are that it will save you time because you won’t have to manually complete the course application form and fax it through to the courses desk. You will also be able to check online all the courses that your staff have attended. Feedback we have received from those already using the system indicates that it is straightforward and easy to use. However, for the foreseeable future you will still be able to use the manual system if that is your preference.

Please see the Authorisation Form over the page. Please will schools nominate who will have responsibility for inputting the data and who will approve each application (the latter is the equivalent of the headteacher’s signature on the current paper-based application form). You can nominate more than one person to approve course applications but each person has to be first approved by the headteacher and you will need to put the names on the Authorisation form to be returned to us. Schools will not be able to use online booking unless they complete this Authorisation form which must be authorised by the headteacher. Schools that are not subscribed to the HR Advisory service are currently unable to book online. However we strongly suggest that you apply as processes are in place to add these schools that are unsubscribed and they will be able to use this system in the near future.

If you require any further information, please contact the Courses Desk on 01274 385821.

Higher Level Teaching Assistants – Three Day Programme

To: Aspiring HLTA’s From: Evelyn Haigh, School Governance and

Workforce Development Officer T 01274 385936

What is HLTA status? The HLTA status gives formal recognition of the skills, knowledge and experience of staff working at a high level to support teaching and learning and is aimed at those practitioners who have proven skills for this role. HLTA staff are usually employed in roles such as the planning and delivery of sessions where teachers are involved in PPA time and for planned absences. They differ from cover supervisors as they are expected to be involved in the planning and assessment of their sessions and in advancing the learning of their students.

Preparation for the status is through a three day programme leading to completion of assignments which are submitted to an assessor. The assessor also visits the school and looks at evidence to support the application for status, interviews the applicant and representatives from the school. All applicants need to have the support of the headteacher and complete the formal application process before they can attend the course. Cost

This course is no longer funded and will cost £300 for the course delivery payable in the normal way; a further charge of £450 for the assessment costs will be payable direct to Carnegie Leaders in Learning who provide the assessors for the course. Applications If you are interested in applying for the HLTA programme, please apply using the HLTA application form and diagnostic form which can be found at https://schools.educationbradford.com/Schools/CMSPage.aspx?mid=438

Please note that all prospective candidates must have a minimum of a Level 2 qualification in Numeracy and Literacy to access this programme and have submitted and have approved an HLTA Diagnostic form available from Bradford Schools Online.

Description of Course Intended outcomes for learners:

Have an overview of the multisensory principles behind the Active Literacy intervention

Know how to identify pupils and administer the placement test

Be able to plan lessons and record progress

Be able to carry out activities and monitor progress Content of the course: As part of the Cognition and Learning Team’s initiative to develop support for children with Specific Learning Difficulties, we are offering training to schools on Dyslexia Action’s very successful Active Literacy Kit (ALK). The training will be delivered over three mornings by Dyslexia Action. We are offering a £300 package to schools which includes:

Three mornings of training for two people, the SENCO and one experienced teaching assistant

Two x Active Literacy Kits – each worth approx £100 What is the Active Literacy Kit (ALK) The ALK is a flexible ‘hands on’ multisensory phonic teaching intervention designed to develop and improve the retrieval of grapheme/phoneme links and so improve fluency in the reading and spelling process. Originally designed for learners with a specific learning difficulty, the ALK can also be used with younger learners, eg KS1 who have general phonic difficulties and secondary school age pupils. It was originally designed as a 1:1 intervention but can also be used in pairs and small groups as pupils progress. ALK involves a series of short flexible practical tasks using cards and wooden letters, with timed activities, working towards target times, to show progress towards fluency. The ALK programme is highly structured with finely graded activities designed to build cumulatively with plenty of overlearning. At the end of the intervention learners are secure in retrieval of grapheme/phoneme links for initial sounds and are able to read and spell CVC words. There are also extension activities to develop skills reading words with diagraphs and adjacent consonants.

Description of Course Intended outcomes for learners: EYFS and KS1 pupils will have the opportunity to use a wider range of ICT in their learning. Intended outcomes for participants: The participants will recognise simple yet effective uses of readily available technologies to engage learners in all areas of provision. Content of the course: Supporting development towards the Early Learning Goals and potential for children to excel with technology, this course will consider the ELG and beyond statements. ELG children recognise that a range of technology is used in places such as homes and schools. They select and use technology for particular purposes. Beyond the ELG children find out about and use a range of everyday technology. They select appropriate applications that support an identified need – for example in deciding how best to make a record of a special event in their lives, such as a journey on a steam train. On this half day course we will introduce the Bradford curriculum and we will investigate how to make effective use of a range of technology, content, software and apps including whiteboard software, online content and tablet devices (specifically iPads) to impact on learning and development in the Early Years.
