There are several, readily accessible and affordable ways in which you can introduce and embed WWO practices into your school – either with small groups of staff or as a whole school, or school network.

WWO training is fun and interactive and mirrors the Working With Others process, so that a significant part of the understanding comes from your participation.

The experience of the day is exactly what the children in your classroom go through when you introduce WWO to them and we help you build your confidence as a facilitator, by using activities in the training that you take back to your classroom.  

In an environment of trust, we break break down barriers, and get everyone in the group to connect - including newcomers and less familiar colleagues. Then, with everyone safe, but slightly out of their comfort zone, we run participatory group activities and its at this point that the learning begins.

WWO Courses

All of our courses work is integrated so that there are a number of entry points to the WWO programme and each can be tailored to meet the needs and timetable of your school and situation.

WWO - Essentials - run throughout the academic year to introduce teachers and teaching assistants to the core principles and skills of Working With Others. Ideal for new staff joining WWO trained schools and for schools wanting to introduce WWO.

WWO – Embedding - for WWO experienced schools wanting to roll the approach out to more staff, including teachers, teaching assistants, mid-day meal supervisors. The embedding programme can also be extended to include parents and other schools within a family group.
