Dear colleagues, 

 

In order to create a useful and practical teaching resources platform on the new SE17/NASSCFL portal, we need your help! There are two ways in which you can participate and none of them should take much of your time. We are looking for examples of syllabi that you would agree to post on the website as well as samples of particularly successful lessons or sequences that you would like to share with the members of the SE17/NASSCFL portal.
