You can also teach the above workshops over several evenings or days by focusing on a different unit each time. Break up the training to best suit the needs of your program.
If you are training just one tutor, the sessions will take less time, since there will be less discussion. On the other hand, if you have more than six tutors at your training, the sessions will take longer.
You can use the following workshops as the need arises, depending on your learners and tutors.
Unit 8 Spelling (3½ hours)
Unit 9 Numeracy (3½ hours)
Unit 10 Learning Disabilities (2 hours)
