Learner 1: Must be in place for teaching for one hour per week during term-time (10 hours teaching) starting in the week immediately following the induction school. You will also carry out a formal assessment, mid-teaching, of this learner which will require a 2-hour slot. Regardless of your teaching situation, your learner must be aged between 8-14 years and be struggling, specifically, in literacy.
Learner 2: Criteria is the same as for Learner 1. Work with Learner 2 commences with a formal assessment followed by 10 hours of teaching over 7 weeks. Lessons will be 90 minutes per week (or equivalent over two lessons per week) and include higher reading skills and extended writing and so you must ensure that your chosen learner is able to manage such tasks. In some circumstances you may be permitted to work with an older learner but this must be discussed with the course manager. You are advised NOT to consider a learner in GCSE year.
