Online SEND and Teacher CPD courses

“I am very thoughtful when assisting in a lesson with information I have received during this course.

“This training has allowed me to understand and implement strategies that effectively support students with Dyslexia based on the needs of students with Dyslexia and their individual abilities. It has allowed space for understanding the effects of Dyslexia on students and how best to support them. It has given me clarity and specification on what Dyslexia is and has helped me to put together a learning programme suitable for these students that has achievable and realistic goals.

“Really good to hear the voice of deaf learners in the HE / FE.

“Toward the end of my training, I was able to implement but more importantly understand the meaning of Dyslexia and the struggles that a pupil may face whilst at school. Basic things like copying off a whiteboard or remembering a list of instructions to complete classwork. This understanding definitely helped me to support my student/students in one-to-one sessions as well as just recognizing the challenges that they would be facing in a larger class setting, which helped me to come alongside the student and support them in the way that they need. e.g repeating the instructions by simplifying them down to one at a time or writing it down for the student. I realized quickly that the principles learned could be used with any student in the class too. A simple thing like not being organized for the lesson with the right stationery or books was not always a fault of their own. I am really glad that I was able to do this course and I look forward to passing on the little knowledge that I have retained and encouraging the school to look into this more.
