Alec has a reputation for running workshops and short training and INSET sessions which inspire and energise delegates; which remind them of the sheer fun of reading, or the crucial role of libraries; which are informed by keeping in touch with teachers and children throughout the country; and which share down-to-earth practical ideas that will help every listener. You can download a full list of recent workshop and CPD topics; these could form either workshops or longer courses – but contact Alec on the topic you have in mind!
He is full of energy, passionate and funny. I’ll remember this for a while to come! — Early Years practitioner after workshop, Northumberland, 2011
Workshops could form part of a longer event such as a conference; they could link with other work, such as a school-based INSET following a storytelling visit; or be ‘standalone’ sessions.
Remember that a short training input could also be in the form of a talk with questions, or a webinar. See the Talks page for details.
Contact Alec for current workshop fees, and to discuss how to get the very best from your training event!
