Today was the AST Training and Termly meeting. It was held at Easton College a good venue for meetings, good rooms as well as catering.

The initial morning session was on coaching led by Jo O'Donoghe and Lynn Stevenson with an input with a NLP slant from Terri Broughton

After coffee we were able to practise the skills of coaching on each other a useful activity

After lunch Sebastian Gasse had an input to get the AST community to start to use web bloggs as well as podcast as a means of communicating with each other and sharing good practice

Two good activities particularly the string one Shame no one brought a camera!!

After coffee we said goodbye to Brenda Emmott who has looked after us so well and hello to our new leader at PDC Julia Stephens

The next training sessions are to be held back at PDC In the Spring on MOnday 12 March and in the Summer on Wednesday 16 May (KS2 SATs week) although this may change
