In some teaching for mastery projects, the Work Group is sometimes referred to as a Teacher Research Group (TRG). The characteristics of a TRG are exactly the same as a Work Group.

All Work Groups are free of charge, however please note that a charge of £100 per participant for non-attendance without prior notice will be applied. Participants must attend all sessions.

Please note: When booking onto our Work Groups, participants will need their teacher reference number (TRN).  If you need support to find your TRN, please follow this guidance: Teacher reference number (TRN) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
