New Arrivals Excellence Programme: CPD Modules

What is it?

Continuing professional development (CPD) modules have been developed to enable local authorities (LAs) and school leaders to focus training, with school staff, on meeting the needs of new arrivals in areas or schools where there is little experience of working with children new to English.

Schools' contexts and priorities are very different, so these modules have been designed to be presented as a complete series or individually, according to the time available and the level of priority given by the school.

The modules can be delivered to the whole staff or to selected groups according to need.

Trainers' notes, including references from other useful publications, are provided to support presenters to ensure that objectives and key messages are covered. The modules have been designed to be delivered by the local authority EMA team, Primary National Strategy consultants or by senior leaders in schools.

The activities provided in the modules are intended as examples. Presenters can choose from and/or adapt the suggested activities to fit in with school priorities.
