Small-Group Teaching

A clear sequence, ready for your next session.

Structured teaching programmes for teaching assistants and teachers delivering individual or small-group support. Everything is currently free.

Each of the three featured programmes contains ten connected activities, a delivery guide, worked examples, suggested answers, adaptations and a simple progress record.

  1. Choose a starting point. Check prerequisites and match the teaching aim to the learner.
  2. Teach together. Prepare the materials, model the task and practise with support.
  3. Review. Record the help needed; use the guide to decide whether to revisit or move on.
