ONLINE EVENT: TEACHER PLANNING IN MANTLE
& "MANTLE OF THE EXPERT ADVANCED ONLINE CERTIFICATE COURSE"
On 25 February at 11.30am (UK time), David Allen is giving an online talk on
Teacher Planning in Mantle of the Expert.
Teachers often wonder about how to plan a Mantle project. Where do you start? In this online talk, David will look at Dorothy's own approach to planning, and offer tips and guidance. The session is suitable for teachers and practitioners working at primary and secondary levels.
The cost is £2. For further details, go to:

The session will be self-contained but is also designed as a "curtain raiser" to the forthcoming online course "Mantle of the Expert: Advanced Online Certificate Course" which starts March 3rd.
This course runs over 10 weekly sessions. It is aimed at teachers and practitioners who have some experience in the system. The course is also led by David Allen. It will look at different aspects of Mantle including: teacher in role; teacher language; drama conventions; and assessment. It will also offer guidance in planning, and individual and group support to participants in developing their own projects.
​
Fee for the full course: £80.00 “Early Bird” rate (before 19 February); £95.00 after 19 Feb.

MONTHLY MANTLE NETWORK SEMINAR GROUP
We have formed a new monthly online Mantle Network Seminar Group, to offer guidance and training in Mantle of the Expert, and other aspects of Dorothy Heathcote’s work; and provide a support network to teachers and practitioners. The group is now fully booked; but we will be offering more opportunities for training, mentoring and support in future - watch this space!
​
This is a recording of a Network event, in which we discussed the benefits and challenges of working through Mantle. Contributors include Brian Edmiston, Iona Towler Evans, Cecily O’Neill, Vaishali Chakravarty, Richard Kieran, Lisa Hinton, David Allen, and more.
Dorothy Heathcote was ahead of her time. Her work continues to provide models, inspiration, and challenges. Her vision of a revolution in the way we think about education seems even more urgent now than ever.
