Working With Others offers excellent support and training for Learning Mentors in their complementary role to Teachers and Teaching Assistants in addressing the needs of children with support in overcoming barriers to learning.

With support from WWO trainers and liaison with the school WWO Co-ordinator, Learning Mentors can explore ways to effectively support individual pupils to gain confidence and understanding so that they are able engage more fully in their learning and participate more comfortably as a member of the whole class.
