At a glance headlines – May 23, 2013

Holocaust CPD, year 7 literacy resources, epilepsy support and a look at teachers' commuting habits are among the At a glance headlines for SecEd on May 23, 2013.

One in 10 teachers are now completing school work during their commutes to work, a five-fold increase from five years ago. Research involving 2,000 people found that teachers have some of the shortest daily commutes compared to other industries, with the average journey being 14.8 miles and the average commute time 37 minutes. More than half of teachers (54 per cent) in the UK commute by car, while nearly a fifth (19 per cent) walk to work. Only eight per cent use the train or Underground while seven per cent hop on a bus.

There are still places available on the Holocaust Educational Trust’s four-part Lessons from Auschwitz CPD course in June. It involves two educational seminars and a visit to the Nazi concentration camps at Auschwitz-Birkenau. It is open to secondary or post-16 teachers of any subject area. You must apply by Friday, May 24. Contact: 020 7222 4761 or info@lfaproject.org.uk
