CPD and Consultancy
Enhancing EAL provision throughout schools through the use of assessment and differentiation.
Beth Southern is the creator of EAL HUB and is an experienced EAL Consultant with a wealth of experience across both primary and secondary, within state sector and private education. Beth was Head of EAL at a large inner-city academy in Manchester for 4 years and more recently was Leading Teacher for EAL at a local council. She has worked with EAL pupils for the last 12 years and has a wide range of experience of working with International Schools around the world. Her training sessions enable teachers and TAs to gain confidence in assessing EAL learners and planning next step support by demonstrating ideas, resources and differentiation which staff can take away and use in school immediately.
Depending on the needs of the school, the sessions can be adapted to incorporate training on aspects such as:
- New Arrivals and the first steps to integration
- Assessment, levelling, EAL registers and tracking
- Boosting reading and writing in Advanced Bilinguals
- Working with parents to develop community cohesion
- Effective intervention methods and strategies
- The role of Tas with EAL learners
- Developing the role of the EAL coordinator
- 20 activities to use next week
- Getting EAL learners involved in whole class texts
- The use of picture books for developing vocabulary
