A number of teachers in each of these schools have attended Level 1 training and are fully accredited for using the methodology in the classroom. Training has been delivered on behalf of the Mid Glamorgan EES forum by Martin Pollard from CEWC-Cymru. We have had over 40 teachers and advisers attend taster sessions and over 20 recive level 1 training in the year 2007-08.====== Another 50 teachers attended tasters this October 2008 and 24 attended Level 1 training in December 2008. The training has been funded through EES grants.

Further training dates for 2009/10 will hopefully be available once funding is secured through WAG.
