D&T online twilight courses
Our online twilight courses, delivered by former senior examiners, are designed to help teachers to improve the examination performance of their students in Design and Technology. Each course covers an aspect of the assessment that students typically find challenging and gives methods of addressing them that are proven to work in the classroom.
​
These are short, bitesize courses containing strategies that can be implemented immediately in the classroom. Each course comes with a free resource that can be used with students the next day.
​
The below courses are prototypes that we are delivering for the first time. As such you can take part for a special rate of just £30 per person per session!
