The First Session

The first session of any course is one of the most important and you should try to make this a rewarding experience for all learners. 

1. The First Session

1.1. Setting of Ground Rules

It is good practice to have an agreement with your class as to what are expected in relation to behaviours.  This is a good way to link to British values.

If you write these up on a piece of flipchart paper you can keep and re-display each session.

Ground rules can relate to

1)    Attendance

2)    Treatment of each other (BV)

3)    Health and safety (BV rule of law)

4)    Safeguarding – confidentiality (BV + Prevent)
