Facilitator Course
Help colleagues develop practical, language-supportive teaching across your school or organisation.
The Facilitator Course enables you to deliver structured professional learning based on the Practical Approaches for Supporting EAL Learners course. It is designed for EAL leads, professional development leads and experienced practitioners who want to support colleagues in making everyday teaching more accessible, inclusive and effective for multilingual learners.
Rather than presenting EAL support as an additional set of tasks, the course helps participants make small, purposeful adjustments to their existing classroom practice.
What participants will explore
Through the facilitated course, participants will learn:
- how to apply the CREAM conditions, (Comprehensible Input, Repetition, Experimentation, Association & Adaptation, and Meaningful Output) in everyday teaching
- how to structure learning using the MMM framework: Meet, Manipulate, Make it Your Own
- practical ways to support understanding, participation and language development
- how to integrate vocabulary, grammar and subject content
- how to adapt activities for different learners, subjects and age groups
- how small changes to existing teaching can improve access to learning for everyone
What the facilitator version offers
The facilitator version supports you in guiding colleagues through the course content, encouraging professional discussion and helping participants connect the approaches to their own classrooms.
It provides a structure for:
- introducing key principles and practical strategies
- exploring classroom examples
- facilitating discussion and reflection
- supporting participants to apply the ideas to their own teaching
- encouraging collaborative planning and the sharing of practice
- developing a more consistent, language-supportive approach across a team or school
Who the facilitator course is for
This version is suitable for:
- EAL coordinators and EAL leads
- CPD and professional learning leads
- subject, phase and curriculum leaders
- experienced teachers supporting colleagues
- schools and organisations seeking a flexible, practical approach to EAL professional development
Why choose the facilitator version?
The Facilitator Course allows professional learning to be connected directly to your setting. Colleagues can discuss shared challenges, adapt strategies to their own subjects and age groups, and develop approaches that are realistic within their existing workload.
It supports more than individual development: it can help build shared understanding and more consistent language-supportive practice across a department, phase or whole school.
