In this podcast, listen to Nathan and Teacher Toolkit podcaster, Libby focus on:
- The prolonged faculty working day pilot in Wales will see in excess of 1,800 learners in 13 colleges and just one college
- College students will profit from five additional hours around a 10-week period.
- What has been the reaction to this trial with lecturers in Wales?
- What are the positives and negatives of extending the college day?
- How will it effects trainer wellbeing and learners?
The thought is to place additional “lovely experiences” back again into the life of pupils, particularly a target on the disadvantaged.
