For those parents of pupils approaching the GCSE exams ( maybe not this year, as it could be different to the usual scenario ) but those in Year 10. These are very practical, grass roots tips. I have shared these tips at evening events. via email and via letter in the past.

I have been teaching MFL since 1992 and in that time I have been Head of German, Head of MFL, AST, Lead Practitioner and SLE for MFL, Assistant Head, Head of Sixth Form, and Head of KS4. Throughout this my passion has remained classroom teaching. This power point is intended for new or existing Heads of MFL and describes some of the key features which I think made a real difference during my time as Head of Languages in a very large, mixed, Essex Comprehensive School.

This is a resource for those who want to remember what real teaching is like, post pandemic online teaching and who want to get back to normal as soon as possible. It might also come in handy for trainee teachers and NQTs as part of their in - house training at your school. It can promote good discussion and the ideas are jumping off points, ripe for discussion.
