“Before I study this course, I did not have much confidence in identifying and managing the students' behaviours but now, I have gained more confidence after finishing this course.
“Why I have finished so quickly is because I really enjoyed it. Learning lots of new things. It was just so good to be given ideas on how to support the children within our setting. I can't wait to use some of the ideas and put them into practice. I have spoken to my work colleges about things that I have learnt as we have a deaf child in every room. The information has helped them understand what helps the children as well. Unfortunately, I can’t work in every room in the nursery, but I have been feeding them the information as I have been learning it.
“This training has really helped me to be more observant and mindful of all the needs of the child I support and has given me more confidence to interact with teachers on his behalf.
“By doing the training it focusses you on the specifics needed. It allows you to think critically and tailor interventions and make 'smart' targets for the child.
“I absolutely love these training courses and get an awful lot out of them. I feel a lot more confident using smart goals and I really appreciate your support. I will use smart goals to support children to decrease levels of behaviour for them to recognise their feeling with specific, measurable, agreed, realistic time-based goals. Thank you for your help.
“This course has enabled me to specifically consider how to support older children with dyslexia and looking at best practise. I was able to consider tools for personal organisation and working memory as this was not something I had previously fully understood as a difficulty linked to dyslexia. I have a clearer understanding of SMART targets and will be delivering some training in school for this. I hope and will encourage all teaching staff to enrol on this course!
“
I am sure moving forward the training will have a very positive impact on outcomes. School is not quite as it should be at present due to the pandemic and I am not in a position to be able to implement strategies yet.
“This training has helped me consider how working jointly with school staff and parents and considering all communication environments can have a positive impact on outcomes. Supporting school staff to understand the importance and process of goal setting and completing intervention has also improved outcomes as having a shared understanding has increased staff motivation to follow care plans and complete intervention with SLCN children.
