ITAP

Intensive Training and Practice (ITAP) is designed to immerse BSTs in foundational aspects of the curriculum. It provides an opportunity to focus on specific, pivotal areas. Intensive training and practice should also build powerful links between evidence-based theory and practice. The weeks are designed to immerse BSTs in their learning through a range of activities and classroom experiences linked to the weekly focus. 

These weeks will focus on:
