    We are having a fantastic week of central training this week! It's been wonderful to bring all our trainees together. Their focus this week has been on how to deliver high-quality, effective feedback. We have loved seeing their enthusiasm, curiosity, and willingness to get stuck in, asking questions and picking up practical guidance to use in their classrooms. There have been great discussions, thoughtful questions, and valuable opportunities for trainees to network with peers from other hubs, and share experiences, ideas, and best practice. #teachlanguages #teachertraining #mfl
