Incredible Years For Teachers

This year the New entrant teacher and myself are attending the Incredible Years for Teachers Programme which aims to support teachers to confidently manage the challenging behaviours some children exhibit in the classroom environment and to increase children’s social, emotional and academic skills. Mary Chudleigh is my group leader for the duration of the course and has visited me regularly.
