Online SEND and Teacher CPD courses

“This course has been very useful to complete. I have limited experience teaching deaf pupils, but it highlighted the gaps in my knowledge and has given me a range of useful, practical tools to use in my teaching. I now feel a lot more confident in teaching my deaf pupil. I also now have a new understanding of how the learning environment will have a direct impact on the pupil. I have enjoyed learning about the reasons for hearing loss and it has explained aspects of the human auditory system that I knew little about. It has been very useful to set SMART targets and look at how I can improve my teaching practice which will result in a positive outcome for my pupil. I have also enjoyed reading my colleagues comments in the forums and can relate what they have said to my own teaching. I recommend this course to any member of teaching or support staff working with deaf pupils.

“I believe that this course and other from yourselves that are built for education can only benefit myself and the school and also play a pivotal part in helping any children that needs help, I think the course work was well thought out especially in the current climate knowing that you can still receive help via zoom or teams. I also now that any children can and will benefit from qualified staff being able to support them through their school time, I just wish that more help like testing was free so more children could be helped.

“It has given me the confidence in my convictions. I had a historic knowledge, but it has confirmed and reminded me of previous knowledge and experience, I can now confidently share without any doubts.

“The training has helped me review my current practices - to re-evaluate some of the interventions I currently deliver and add in some additional interventions. Thus, ensuring I am better able to adapt my approach and offer the best interventions to support each individual child's needs.
