Our Integrating EAL and Multilingual Learners Training

Our Training Offer

We support teachers, leaders and support staff in developing their consciousness, confidence and competence in how to be more inclusive of EAL and multilingual learners, colleagues and families.

We will create an open space to reflect on and to discuss how well we are meeting the needs of multilingual and EAL learners in the classroom and multilingual and EAL families and colleagues beyond the classroom.

We can deliver face to face and virtually, for twilights, INSETs and conferences.

Our Training Session Includes

  • Imagining how a new to English pupil feels when they arrive in your school
  • Considering how to welcome and embrace the strengths of EAL and multilingual learners
  • Challenging the deficit mindset impacting the perception of EAL and multilingual learners
  • Sharing good practice for newly arrived pupils being quickly integrated into the school community
  • Enabling EAL and multilingual learners to succeed academically through ‘language aware’ teaching

I have now heard DEI from two different speakers and would whole-heartedly recommend. Through a non-threatening and informative approach they will carefully lead the staff through a thought-provoking journey of self-questioning and discovery.

This training was something we will remember for a long time. Some staff even shared it was the best CPD they had been part of. We feel it was hugely purposeful and will have a great impact on our school short term and long term. Would definitely recommend!
