LEC Primary Offer

The Primary Offer
” Despite the complexity, literacy is the global metric we use to assess health and the competence of communities” (National Council of Teachers of English)
Literacy is connected to so much and therefore, when we develop a professional learning offer, we have to keep this in mind. Our Primary offer has been produced with the aim of supporting schools to improve the literacy levels of the young people.
In the short video below, Carl explains more about what’s on offer as part of being a member and how to get involved.
