Education Resources

We have collated some useful links and documents for working as a supply teacher or teaching assistant for M2 Education. These include some useful supply teacher resource links which will be kept updated on a regular basis as well as some useful documents and contacts whilst working for M2 Education.

As set out in our expectations of staff page all of our teachers are expected to take their own resources to any booking they work, even if work is set.
