This course is delivered through one 2-day face-to-face workshop and four online workshops. Participants will also be supported by a class visit and a digital learning platform for ongoing inquiry and reflection.
At no cost for NZ registered teachers. Travel to the workshop is covered by Tui Tuia | Learning Circle - Languages. Your school may claim for ONE Teacher Release Day for the two-day in-person workshop upon successful completion of the programme.
