Join us from wherever you are on this virtual training session!

This virtual session is designed to give an overview of the key aspects of leading Design & Technology (D&T) in a primary school context. With reference to the D&T Programme of Study and the Ofsted framework, delegates will consider planning, progression and assessment in D&T. Although the training will be delivered through Zoom, the session will be hands on and there will be a number of practical tasks. These are designed for non- D&T specialists and will support the development of delegate’s skills, knowledge and confidence in D&T. Examples of good practice will be shared and there will be lots of opportunity for questions and discussion.

Delegate places can be booked through Leeds for Learning. Please click here for the Leeds for Learning website.
