A REFRESHER course for former secondary school teachers interested in returning to the profession has been organised on Teesside.
The ten-week course organised by Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council will be based at the University of Durham Stockton campus from Monday, September 23 to Thursday, November 26.
The course, funded by the Teacher Training Agency, is part of a nationwide effort to encourage experienced teachers to return to the classroom.
Julie Hunter, the council's manager of education human resources, said: "We are very proud of the course's success, with many teachers returning to the profession with renewed confidence and skills. We have received extremely positive comments regarding the course and the tutors."
Those who attend will be able to claim a bursary of up to £150 a week with up to £150 a week also available towards the cost of childcare.
