Teacher Training and Professional Development
NATECLA supports an active, innovative community of ESOL teacher trainers which is represented by the NATECLA Teacher Training Working Party.
The Teacher Training Working Party
- supports and contributes to the development of ESOL teaching qualifications
- brings teacher trainers together to share practice, resources and ideas
- participates in national debate about teacher education and training
The working party meets face to face three times a year
To join the email group, attend the meetings or explore ways to contribute to its work please contact either of the Co Chairs who will be pleased to hear from you.
