CELTA - Teaching Practice lesson points

The images below show the teaching practice points we (the 6 people in our group) had to cover each day, each of us was assigned a letter and we had to cover the points allocated to our letter.
For the final week we decided what we wanted to teach.







CELTA - Timetable

This is the timetable i had for the four week CELTA course i took in York. It shows what was covered each day and should hopefully give you an idea of how much work is involved with the course.
