The second webinar in this series will feature the Wolston Correctional Centre Education team.
Working with incarcerated students can be the most rewarding, challenging & demanding job, especially for Peer Tutors with no formal teaching experience!
This interactive & engaging session will take you through the trials, tribulations & successes involved in the introduction of a teacher training course for Peer Tutors in a men’s high security protection prison.
Please note that the webinar is not recorded.
