Have you provided 'in-house' training in your school?
Posted: Thu Nov 26, 2009 10:56 am
I'm encouraging people to write about their 'in-house' training experiences to share with other people.
You may not be a recognised 'Phonics International' per se, but you may have been pleased to use PI resources - or tips picked up from the website and message forum - for training and sharing methodology with colleagues. If this is the case, please do tell us how things went, what you would need to help you further, responses of friends and colleagues - or parents of pupils in your school.
Phonics International has been designed to enable people to 'train' as they use the resources - you can 'pick up and run' with the core SOUNDS BOOK ACTIVITY SHEETS and the fact that the resources for teaching, learning and assessment are truly step by step and content-rich, should make the teaching and learning explicit once people are familiar with the set-up of the 12 units' webpages.
Please describe resources you have found particularly helpful to support your training and, also, make requests for resources that you feel you 'need' that don't yet exist!
Remember that Phonics International is a constantly developing programme!
It is also designed to work in partnership with parents when you are in a school or tutoring scenario. If you are not informing parents about the English Alphabetic Code and the 3 core skills, then you need to consider how best to build this into the delivery of the teaching.
Not all parents will respond, or be interested, in the information you provide, but, as school teachers and tutors, you will have discharged your duty by providing information.
In any event, at least some parents will be very interested and they will really add to the teaching and learning and be very pleased to work in partnership!
