James Mctaggart, our team of Speech and Language Therapists and Occupational Therapists, will be running online training in Emerging Literacy, beginning on Tuesday 9th of June. This training is recommended for all teachers of Primary One and Primary Two, who had not been on the Emerging Literacy training before, or who would value a refresher course.

Each week there will be two options for training and you are asked to watch the training videos before attending the training.

Training dates:

Emerging Literacy: Tuesday 09/06/2020 Wednesday 10/06/2020 (repeat)

Phonological Awareness: Tuesday 16/06/2020 Wednesday 17/06/2020 (repeat)

Oral Language: Tuesday 23/06/2020 Wednesday 24/06/2020 (repeat)

Pre-Handwriting Skills: Tuesday 30/06/2020 Wednesday 01/07/2020 (repeat)

For further information, and to register, please go to the Highland Council Digital Learning Hub or CPD calendar.

      Hi Danielle,
      Yes, if you just use the meeting link provided. Once you join the chat, type hello and the name of your school in the chat box. My colleague will then collate the names at the end of the training and share with CPD admin staff so these hours can be added to your record.
      Thanks,
      Laura

        Hi Monica,
        Apologies I did not reply prior to the training, I’ve just read your comment. I hope you managed to join last week and you will also join in future sessions.
        You are welcome to join using the Google Meet link provided. As you work within Moray Council, there is no need to register before the sessions. You will be asked to share your email address during the Google Meet session via the chat box to allow resources/links to be shared with you.
        Thank you,
        Laura

      Hi Brandon,
      You are welcome to join – the Google Meet link is meet.google.com/czr-xqsg-xip and there is no need to register beforehand.
      Yes, that is the correct link for training videos – next weeks session is on Phonological Awareness.
      Thanks,
      Laura

        Cheers,
