About us

Associate Consultant

Dr David Waugh of the University of Hull evaluates the progress of the network and encourages the two way process of outlining new learning opportunities and taking back requests to the University for learning support and development. This creates new capacity for learning at and for the University. (An example of this has already occurred-The Co-operative Learning programme which was developed by the Bransholme NLC has been jointly taught by University Tutors and NLC teachers to 81 PGCE trainee teachers. Co-operative Learning is now part of the Teacher training programme)
