Lead Practitioner

Professional Development

UFA Lead practitioners develop their expertise in specific UFA programmes through a three step process, attending UFA Lead Practitioner Training, putting your learning into practice then feeding back to us about it.

These short courses give practitioners the expertise and resources to lead particular UFA programmes in their area.

Lead practitioner programmes model UFA values and offer practical, innovative, research based approaches for engaging learners. The training offers a combination of strategic planning and practical application, including high quality resources to run the programme in your setting.

Each of our programmes has a supporting Lead Practitioner programme running alongside it.

Testimonials

What Participants Say

"UFA has reminded me that learning can be exciting and that young people can be so inspirational. More than anything, it has reminded me that teaching can be fun."

UFA Lead Practitioner

"I've found ways to reach children who were so disassociated with education that I feared they were beyond reach, but with UFA techniques very few children feel under-valued or helpless."
