place in schools Work with outstanding teachers and experienced
practitioners from day one of the course Access a high quality and
innovative training programme Delivered by first-class educational
practitioners We are hugely experienced in ITT and are now taking
the next step In a completely rational society, the best of us
would be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for
something less

you something to take home to think about besides homework

eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops
