| Drama: Early Years |
Human beings learn naturally through drama. Our brains are 'wired' for it. Small children of all cultures pretend, creating make-believe worlds in which to explore and understand real or imagined experiences. Teachers who recognise the potential of this predisoposition and use drama in their teaching create compelling and meaningful learning experiences that are affirming, challenging, memorable and enjoyable. |

| Pre-Prep Heads Conference 2012 |
Management Matters. Management matters to us all an in our roles as Heads of Pre-Prep we cover a vast range of management matters in our daily lives - some of us starting with little or no managerial experience.
Our 14th annual conference will feature a variety of issues around management including managing the curriculum, managing children's wellbeing as well as our own, looking after our voice and dealing with conflict.
Whatever your experience and knowledge of management, we hope that over the three days there will be something for everyone and you will leave feeling informed, refreshed, inspired and ready to manage the many and varied matters that face Pre-Prep Heads. |

| ICT Burning Issues |
It is well known that ICT companies will always bring out the latest product, almost annually, and some of them become must-haves but turn out to be fads. This course will look at current (2012) burning issues, rather than the "best in BETT" in areas such as the ICT syllabus, reasonable skills with Interactive Whiteboards, the use of the Information Management System for Pupil Progress Tracking, and Evolving Communication technologies. |

| Classics: Practical Classics |
This day conference, which will be found of use to all practising prep school Classics teachers - and especially non-specialists - will focus on the practical rather than the theoretical. Its focus will be to share good classroom practice in the devising and implementation of strategies for imparting the necessary linguistic (as well as non-linguistic) topics memorably and with fun, but without sacrificing the traditional rigour and high standards associated with the subject. Inter alios, a specialist Classics inspector will be giving guidance on preparation for inspection, and the Hellenic Bookservice will be exhibiting their wide range of classroom resources, with particular empahsis on young learners and their teachers. You will be accorded a warm oriental welcome in Ipswich: these courses have in the past tended to be over subscribed, so prompt booking is recommended! |
