Teachers in Supplementary Schools Wednesday 1st June 2011. 5 -7pm.

London Metropolitan University, Tower Building. Room T1-20

You are warmly invited to the second* seminar in series: Educating Communities: Teachers in supplementary schools.

The aim of this seminar is to explore the growth of supplementary and complementary education from the grass roots, giving a voice to the experiences of people involved in educating, and supporting education, outside of mainstream schooling: a ‘shadow’ workforce often made up of parents and community leaders and activists. This seminar explores the tensions and ambiguities encountered by those working within the shadows of formal schooling, and the benefits of making links between the complementary and mainstream sectors.

Dr. Raymonde Sneddon, UEL '21 years in East London: Issues in policy, research and practice'.
