IN SERVICE TRAINING (IST)

BWY requires teachers to attend one IST event each year.
This enables their practice to be kept up to date and provides useful opportunities to meet others and give support to those who have recently qualified.
Those teachers who have not yet fulfilled the IST requirements should look at the schedule and get their bookings in promptly.
We charge far less than many areas and all our tutors are very experienced and well respected.

REMEMBER:
1. Book from 3 months in advance of the event only
2. All events cost £20 per person (£25.00 from September)
3. Cheques payable to: BWY Yorkshire and Humberside Region
4. Always quote your BWY membership number with application
5. Enclose an A5 SAE with your application
6. Priority given to BWY teachers who must attend one IST per year
7. Diploma course students can apply but will only receive a place if the course is NOT full
8. All days run from 10am to 4pm
9. Please use the booking form in Wheel Within Magazine

I hope you find something to enjoy.
With love and light, your new Regional Training Officer. Jane Short
