We have just added a new presentation to our our Guild Conference line up, Friday 8th July, University of Bath.

Expert tutors will demonstrate how the DALP programme can be used with online platforms and learners. They will explore the pros and cons of teaching online and the advantages and disadvantages of using different online platforms. You will be shown how to complete an online placement and how to structure and teach the DALP lesson. A useful toolbox of tips, tricks and ideas will also be provided to take away with you and hopefully support you if you decide to teach online.*

This presentation is suitable for anyone who has already had experience and training in DILP or DALP or other literacy programmes.  Following the presentation there will be an opportunity to ask questions, including the presenter’s experiences of using different platforms across different age groups.

*Please note you must already be trained in DALP to teach it online.
