SESSIONS EVERY WEEKDAY
Teacher Training Information Session – Tuesday
1 hour session
Description
The online session will introduce our 12-month OMF Teacher Training Pathway. The hour-long session will include a brief overview of these non-academic training routes including entry criteria, progression routes, training content and assessment. This is not an introduction to mindfulness session (please visit our ‘Learn Mindfulness’ section of the website for those sessions). Ideally you will have completed an 8-week mindfulness course before you join this session to be able to contribute fully. A question and answer section will be included, however the number of people joining each session will impact on how much interaction and space there is for individual questions.
