Free Teacher CPD for A Day of Welcome 2023
in association with International Rescue Committee
This year, we are working with International Rescue Committee (IRC) to provide free teacher training to compliment schools’ involvement in A Day of Welcome.
The IRC will be hosting a webinar which aims to support schools and educators to develop inclusive and nurturing learning spaces where refugee and asylum-seeking students can gain the necessary academic, social and emotional skills to develop their full potential. Attendees will also be signposted to additional free training about The Healing Classroom Approach, trauma-informed teaching and EAL support. They will also have access to Ukrainian and Afghan country briefings and Social and Emotional lesson plans and games.
