The Let Me Learn Malta Centre provides training to educators who are interested in becoming practitioners of the Let Me Learn Process. The training, better known as the Let Me Learn Professional Learning Process (LML PLP), is meant for a wide audience with an education background ranging from Kindergarten assistants and facilitators, to primary and secondary school teachers, to assistant heads and heads of school. Every scholastic year, the LML PLP usually commences at the beginning of January and ends by the third week of May.

This Practitioners’ Course encompasses is designed in such a way as to provide step-by-step help in the implementation of the process. Apart from providing the necessary information about the LML theories, the training is very practical since classroom implementation plays a major role. Moreover, the participants are supported in responding to the learners’ needs and address the multiple identities present in the classroom.

Following this training, mentoring and support is offered by our team as part of our continuous assistance to practitioners.

The Let Me Learn Team works hard so that the training programme is as school-friendly as possible i.e. the logistics of the programme provide for as much flexibility as possible so that the disturbance of the school time-table is kept to a minimum. For a number of reasons, the training sessions are held during school hours. Every session is repeated six times (between Tuesday and Friday) so that every educator can choose the time slot that suits him/her best. The morning session starts at 8:45 while the other one starts at noon. The Practitioners’ Course consists of six non-consecutive training sessions of two-hours each as well as two full-day seminars and two school visits by LML trainers. As much as possible teachers/educators are grouped according to the year group or subject matter they teach. All sessions (except for school visits) are held at the National Curriculum Centre, Hamrun (near Maria Assumpta GSS).

During the LML PLP, participants shall delve, among other matters, into the meaning of learning, the ’schooling’ / ’learning’ dichotomy, who they are as learners, the learning patterns, the Interactive Learning Model, the Learning Connections Inventory, differentiation, group work, etc. As the Training Programme progresses, words become doable actions and educators start making sense of the holistic picture.
