The Courses
Tracks Literacy comprises a number of teaching programmes - the 'Tracks'. This, and the fact that
'doing Tracks' involves learning techniques, some of which are relatively complex and require
practice to master, mean that Tracks is relatively complex to learn to deliver.
All courses therefore, apart from the one-day courses, rely on participants doing work outside the sessions.
This work involves revision, study, and preparation for, and work with students.
You'll see that we ask participants and their headteachers (line managers in secondary schools) to
sign a form to say that the school and the participant can meet the conditions.
If you're prepared to do the work, the rewards are great:
You'll see observable progress as you teach, and probably become as addicted to running
Tracks groups as the pupils are to attending.
You'll have a range of procedures and a positive way of approaching learning that is
likely to influence the rest of your teaching career, in whatever context you find yourself
in the future.
'The period of research that I have conducted with FP and his friends has transformed my
thinking in relation to the learning possibilities for these pupils... I have learned to look
beyond the assumptions made about pupils by the educational system, including educational
psychologists and experienced special needs teachers.'

and in Wokingham Unitary Authority advertised for Tracks
Literacy teachers.
One of the posts was for a deputy headteacher.
