These will be available via subscription in due course but not immediately, as we are prioritising the free materials to make sure that everyone using the CLC has a good foundation on which to build. We hope you will continue to support us as we work to create a library of resources and options for your classrooms. Teacher support Every student is a unique client, and there is no standard course. We always begin by discussing learning methods and objectives. Our ambition is to ensure a learning experience tailored to the needs and expectations of each student. When a student is following a particular course at school, we will fit our teaching round that. This being said, we have a preference for teaching students to read Latin. We recommend that students should gain a thorough grounding in the grammar of Latin, and that they should read as much Latin as they can fit into their learning schedule.develop and apply their critical, analytical and reflective skills to evaluate evidence from a range of sources These are optional components.
