Fifteen education support services advisers from the University of Otago College of Education are in Auckland this week receiving training to help Otago primary and intermediate schools implement the National Standards programme.
Doris Lancaster, Glenis Sim, Ian Morrison, Ian Stevens, Jenny Harrex, Joan Turner, Kat Freeman, Kate Rice, Marilyn Holmes, Noel Johnson, Paul O'Connor, Pauline Douglas, Peter King, Rosemary Smith and Viv Thompson are attending National Standards Training for Trainers at the Waipuna Conference Centre, Auckland.
A College of Education spokeswoman said the training sessions would take three days and it was expected the 15 would then begin training school leaders in the region.
All Otago schools would have received training by the end of the first term, she said.
