About This Event
This four-hour, in-person training looks at what classroom management means in the contemporary classroom, structured around three areas — the three P's. The first, Programme, addresses the clarity of the lesson itself. The second, People, considers both sides of the room: the bad habits we teachers fall into, and how to understand student silence better. The third, Proficiency, sets out three effective ways to teach mixed-level classes. Across the afternoon (14:00–18:00), each session combines methodology, demonstration, and collaborative exercises. The training is practical, participatory, and grounded in real classroom experience, and is open to teachers with at least a B1 level of English.

What You'll Gain
