Local C21 school clusters
Technician training: A cluster may be interested in sending one technician who can then feed back to other schools. Alternatively we can arrange courses in local areas if there is sufficient demand, and a school willing to host the day in one of their labs.
Teacher training: it may also be possible to arrange bespoke training for a department, or for a local school cluster, for instance on managing discussions in class.
To arrange local school cluster training, email uyseg-c21@york.ac.uk
OCR also runs training courses for teachers - see OCR training for more information.
