About This event
Raising children's standards of achievement and promoting their well-being, key outcomes of Every Child Matters, require schools to develop in their workforce the skills needed for staff to work successfully and collaboratively in the classroom of the future. This seminar will look at how schools and staff can contribute to this process. It will also look at ways of building effective partnerships within classrooms and across the school.
